Inspired by the beautiful rolling hills and heritage of Ireland, John Christopher Condron has created the John Christopher collection of luxury jewelry. Based in Dublin Ireland, Condron has been working with jewelry since he was just out of high school. His tastes lean towards strong lines that keep things simple and classic with lots of sparkling diamonds set in shiny golds and silvers. The Irish influences can be seen in the most subtle of places — for example the gold brush stroke appearance of the “New Aristocrats” pieces represents furrows found in fields in the Irish countryside. They’re fairly hefty looking designs that appear fashionable without being terribly trendy or looking too hard to ‘make a statement.’
