The Irish Jewelry Company

What The Irish Jewelry Company does

The Irish Jewelry Company is a privately held, family-owned direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer of handcrafted Celtic and Irish-themed jewelry, founded in 2006 by designer Jennifer Derrig, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. The company is headquartered in Malverne, New York on Long Island, and reports frequent travel to Ireland for design authenticity. Its catalog spans sterling silver, 9K-14K gold, diamonds, emeralds, and Connemara marble pieces organized around traditional Irish symbols — Claddagh rings, Trinity Knot (Triquetra), Celtic Cross, Celtic Knot, Irish Harp, Tree of Life, Celtic animal motifs, Mothers Knot, and Book of Kells-inspired designs — with pricing ranging from approximately $14.99 for entry-level pieces to over $1,499.99 for premium gold and bridal items.

The business operates two channels: a global DTC e-commerce storefront (theirishjewelrycompany.com) shipping to ten countries across North America, Europe, and Oceania, and a wholesale program supplying retailers and gift shops. Order processing is structured for same-day shipment before 9 AM EST on US orders, with free standard shipping on US orders over $250 and a 14-day return window. Payment infrastructure spans PayPal, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, and major card networks. Customer segmentation emphasizes individual gift buyers, the wedding/bridal market, Irish/Celtic heritage enthusiasts, fashion-conscious consumers, and wholesale buyers, with marketing conducted through organic social (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube), a content-led blog covering Irish traditions and symbol meanings, and an email newsletter.

The company does not operate a mobile app, offers no public API or SDK, and does not disclose revenue or funding. It claims an installed base of 100,000+ customers and competes on brand heritage, design authenticity under founder-led creative direction, and a wide SKU breadth in a niche segment where mass-market generalist jewelers under-invest.
