Face Value ~ The People Powering the Guild
Meet Tuula Harrington, our Treasurer. With 3 decades of experience, Tuula’s Cork-based studio Designworks Studio specialises in natural diamond engagement rings and custom fine jewellery.
As Treasurer of the Guild, Tuula plays a vital role behind the scenes - supporting its sustainability and making sure the organisation remains strong for its members, now and into the future.
“Previously I felt the depth of skills and talent here in Ireland within our trade were under represented and supported, so when the opportunity came up to join and help establish the guild I was honoured to get involved and help out. Now, as a member of the guild and part of this incredible community, I feel less isolated, with friends and peers who I admire and can turn to for support.”
We really appreciate the time and expertise that volunteers like Tuula offer. Reach out via DM if you’d like to contribute to your Guild!

Mí Feabhra
- My old pals at @designworksstudiocork heroically sized my grandfather’s Claddagh ring down *10 sizes* to fit me.
-PULSE DEMONS! This February I jumped on a train to Monasterevin and spent a day learning how to play Maracatu de Baque Virado (#maracatunação) with Maracatu Ilha Brilhante, an international group of drummers from across the island of Ireland. Propulsive, dizzying, profoundly affecting percussion. Much more to come 🇧🇷

- I work close to Jean-Claude, a master butcher from Burgundy who likes to make little animals out of fruit and vegetables.
- Chorando com O Agente Secreto ✰✰✰✰✰❤️‍🔥💞🇧🇷

In conversation with the wonderful Tuula from @designworksstudiocork . Today's question came from a follower who wanted to know about the potential provenance of her inherited diamond rings. A little skip on to sustainability which sets up the next segment nicely. We'll be chatting about energy output ,diamond prices and value tomorrow!

#2 of my conversation with Tuula from @designworksstudiocork . This segment focuses on mined, natural diamonds or more specifically how do we know that @designworksstudiocork natural diamonds are ethically sourced?. Here Tuula chats about their reasons for choosing @botswanamark_ . It was honestly fascinating chatting to her and in tomorrow's segment, she answers more of your questions on inherited rings, cost and value..

Remember I called into @designworksstudiocork a few weeks ago to get my rings polished and a booklet on Botswana diamonds piqued my interest? Well, Tuula very graciously took time out of a pretty busy work day and answered some of the questions you set. I'll post segments of the Q&A in reel format here over the next few weeks and I'll post the full 14 minute video to Facebook if you'd like to watch it in its totality. I learned a lot, Tuula is ('scuse the pun) a MINE of information . 💎 🔸️ 🔶️
