Aidan Breen is a native of Dublin. His early fascination with Celtic design was fed by frequent trips to the National Museum as a child, to visit such treasures as the Tara Brooch and the Ardagh Chalice. He has worked as a silversmith since he apprenticed at age 14 to the church furnishings firm of M. H. Gill & Sons. He has also worked for several of the other leading firms in Irish silver manufacture, Royal Irish Silver and Allwright & Marshalls. Since 1978 he has worked on his own and was one of the first in the current trend of independent crafts designers to produce Celtic design jewellery in Ireland, showing his designs at the Irish National Craft Fair. The work shown above is all recent handmade original designs.
