About ME - Mary Enright
Jewellery Designer and Master Goldsmith Mary Enright is an industry veteran with over two decades of experience in many facets of the jewelry industry.
Mary trained as a goldsmith at Ireland's Centre of Excellence for Jewellery Design: The Design and Crafts Council of Ireland's Jewellery and Goldsmith Skills Program. Mary also trained with the Gemological Institute of America where she earned her AJP, Graduate Pearls Diploma and CAD/CAM for Jewelry Manufacture Certification. Mary is a Certified Pearl Specialist, earning her certificate from CPAA (Cultured Pearl Association of America).
Mary’s creativity and extraordinary skills as a designer, goldsmith and entrepreneur led to documentary features on Irish Television. Mary is widely known in Ireland for her appearance on Dragon's Den Ireland (Shark Tank) where she successfully pitched a branded jewellery business to venture capitalists. Mary was a selected designer to represent Ireland for the Ireland-Cork Pavilion at International Jewellery London and her works are in high demand both in Ireland and from overseas clients.
Mary's jewellery has been featured in print magazine media alongside international designers including Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, Christian Dior and Michael Kors. Mary's ME Jewellery brand and retail store were shortlisted for the LEO Enterprise Awards, Irish Times Best Shops in Ireland, and Mary has received two nominations for Hi Magazine Most Stylish Jeweller. Her work was selected for the Who’s Who in Craft Jewellery coffee table book and she also features in A Woman’s Work and Women in Jewelry Who Rock coffee table books.
Mary was called upon to participate as part of the juror and advisory panel for the WearingIrish NYC competition. Other notable jurors include Don O'Neil (fashion designer), Kristen Shaughnessy (anchor/reporter NY1) and Anne Keating (Former Senior Vice President for Public Relations, Bloomingdales).
The success of her ME Jewellery store and workshops in Ireland brought her much critical acclaim both nationally and internationally which led to a successful solo exhibition of her work in New York in 2016. Shortly thereafter Mary relocated to the US, working as a model maker at the Jewelry Design and Innovation Workshop at Tiffany & Co. followed by an Instructor in CAD/CAM for Jewelry Manufacture at the world-renowned Gemological Institute of America. Mary now manages a high jewelry workshop in Manhattan.
An active member of the New York Metro chapter of the Women's Jewelry Association, Mary is the current President-Elect with her Presidency of the board commencing in January 2025.
Due to the one-of-a-kind nature of the work Mary creates much has been sold to private clients and collectors.
