Kilkenny Jeweller Creates Incredibly Beautiful Pieces Remembering Those We've Lost

There is a little studio in Kilkenny changing the jewellery game, one live stream at a time. Irene Leahy is the owner and designer of IMB Designs and has a unique way of giving her customers full access to her creative process. Irene creates one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery. Speaking to Alison Curtis on Weekend Breakfast Irene said, "Unfortunately I often make pieces for people who have lost a loved one.... pieces that hold ashes or hair, or I make a piece of jewellery from their wedding bands or a piece of jewellery they may have worn." Irene also live streams the process, allowing a real personal connection with the piece to flourish.
