August brings with it a sense of new beginnings, and for many, the start of a lifelong journey together. As the season shifts, we’re delighted to mark a special milestone of our own: Martina Hamilton will be exhibiting at The Wedding Show at the RDS for the third time, on September 6th and 7th. This vibrant celebration of love and craftsmanship is Ireland’s largest and most inspiring wedding planning event; a gathering of over 180 trusted suppliers and 4,500 soon-to-be newlyweds under one roof.
From our studio on the Atlantic coast of Sligo, we will bring with us a story of artistry, heritage, and new beginnings; introducing two very special additions to the Martina Hamilton collections.
The Ériu Engagement Collection: A New Chapter Begins
Unveiled for the very first time at this year’s show, The Ériu Engagement Ring Collection represents a bold and elegant new direction. Handmade in our Sligo workshop by our team of master goldsmiths, these rings are crafted using the finest materials; hallmarked sterling silver, gold (available in 9ct, 14ct, or 18ct yellow, white, or rose), platinum, and lab-grown diamonds.
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They are physically, chemically, and optically identical to their natural counterparts. Ethically sourced and environmentally conscious, they allow us to offer heirloom-quality pieces with minimal impact on the earth, while maintaining the brilliance, fire, and strength that define the diamond’s legacy.
Each Ériu engagement ring can be custom-made to suit your story, with options for natural diamonds or other precious and semi-precious stones upon request. Pricing is bespoke, based on carat, metal, and stone.
A Contemporary Tribute: The Ériu Claddagh Ring
We’re also proud to showcase the Ériu Claddagh Ring at The Wedding Show for the very first time.
Ériu, the ancient goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann, lends her name, and her spirit, to this collection. As the namesake of Éire and Erin, her connection to Ireland is deeply rooted in myth and meaning. The Ériu Claddagh Ring reimagines the beloved symbol of love, loyalty, and friendship with Martina’s signature contemporary touch.
While the traditional Claddagh features a heart, crown, and hands, Martina’s design is more elemental; evoking the fluidity of sea-carved rock, the lines of the Irish coastline, and the timeless strength of commitment.
“Through the form of each piece in the Ériu collection, I am creating a reflection of the wearer, a coastline of sorts. With the Claddagh ring, I’ve aimed to fuse this concept with the ring’s original meaning, while elevating it with a more contemporary aesthetic,” - Martina Hamilton
