  • “Over the span of its 125 year history, the ABERFELDY distillery has consistently produced the highest quality single malt whisky, setting the gold standard for the category. Known as ‘the golden dram’ for the alluvial gold found in its water source, the Pitilie Burn, I’ve partnered with ABERFELDY to create bespoke pieces inspired by the distillery in celebration of this significant milestone.

    Proudly, we include the Persephone Ring in the capsule collection for Aberfeldy.”

    Nigel O’Reilly

  • “The lore of garnets can be traced back to an ancient Greek myth of a heroine called Persephone who was captured by Hades, the god of the underworld. Before Hades released her, he gave her some pomegranate seeds. Having eaten these deep, garnet-colored seeds, Persephone was now eternally connected to the underworld. The lore around these luscious richly hued gemstones is a beautiful nod to their natural intricate depth and color”.

    Nigel O’Reilly

  • “This partnership emerged from our mutual values of nature, excellence, and meticulous craftsmanship. As Stephanie Macleod, ABERFELDY’s MALT MASTER , eloquently puts it: ‘The walls of our charming distillery are steeped in history and heritage, standing testament to a tradition of whisky making stretching back over generations. We have the honour of balancing past, present and future in every bottle of ABERFELDY to create the consistent premium quality and taste people enjoy around the world.’

    Just as ABERFELDY whisky is a testament to centuries of tradition and passion, our jewellery immortalises their legacy in a beautiful collection.”
