John Rocha made his name as a fashion designer, with haute couture collections shown on catwalks the world over. Born in Hong Kong of Chinese and Portuguese descent, John Rocha moved to London in the 1970’s to study fashion, and subsequently visited Ireland after using Irish linen as part of his graduate collection.

The jewellery range is an inspired mix of organic shapes and forms using simple designs which are inspired by Irish themes and celtic art. For example, his signature cross pendant combining inspiration from Ireland and China, Rocha combines oriental thinking and Irish craft. This designer jewelry range includes simple pieces that can be worn everyday and more dramatic fashion pieces.
