You’ll have noticed that I am quite the little magpie, I just adore shiny jewels, from rings to watches, bracelets to earrings and necklaces. As jewellery is one of my biggest fashion loves, I would often wander into a store and be in awe of all that’s on display. And with the stylish Fashion Room at Weir & Sons, this is very easy to do, because it’s full to the brim of beautiful jewellery from a host of brands.
This festive season, the Dublin landmark is lit up and decorated, with a stunning bespoke mistletoe light display on the corner of its Grafton Street flagship store. Founded & established in 1869 by Thomas Weir, the family run store is known for being that somewhere special to provide men, women & children with luxurious gifts all year round. At Christmas we love to spoil our loved ones, so if you are on the lookout for something extra special this year, head towards to Weir & Sons for those sparkling, dazzling and lavish little presents.
Check the bottom of this post to see the other Gift Guides!
COMPETITION: If you do visit the Grafton Street store, ensure you pucker up under the mistletoe light, snap it and share the photo using #MerryKissmasAtWeirs, tag and follow Weir & Sons via social media and you’ll enter a competition to WIN a €1,000 gift card! (Closing date: Christmas Eve, December 23)

Spendy Spendy (€100-200)
If your budget allows you to spend that little bit more, then the selection of gifts to choose from is much wider.

Look to brands like Dyrberg/Kern, Missoma and TI Sento for excellent quality jewellery, while watch brands Olivia Burton and Daniel Wellington are quite the cult products with their respective simplistic but classy designs. Irish brands Paul Costelloe and Chupi also stock at Weir & Sons, for an extra touch of home under the tree. Here are my favourite pieces between €100-200.
