🌈 Why Every RainbowRegalia Piece Is One-of-a-Kind or Limited Edition

At RainbowRegalia, nothing is mass-produced. Nothing comes off a conveyor belt. And nothing is ever made “just to fill a shelf.” Every piece begins life on my workbench in Greystones — usually somewhere between a cup of tea, a burst of inspiration, and a bead trying to make a run for it.

From the moment I started making jewellery, I knew I didn’t want to create hundreds of the same thing. Where’s the fun in that? Instead, I work the way I naturally create: intuitively, instinctively, and one piece at a time. It means every design has its own little personality, its own story, and its own journey into the world.

I use materials with history.

So many of my components are repurposed, rescued, or rediscovered — beads I’ve found in vintage shops, stones with stories, odd little treasures I’ve collected over the years, even buttons that have lived previous lives. Because of this, supplies are often limited, and sometimes I only have enough for one pair of earrings… and that’s it. When it’s gone, you'll never see their like again.

I follow creativity, not production schedules.

Some makers design a piece and then replicate it 50 times. I admire that organisation —  but it’s not how I work. I make based on the materials in front of me, the mood I’m in, the colours inspiring me that day, or whatever idea pops into my head at midnight. My creative process is wonderfully chaotic and refuses to be mass-produced.

I want your jewellery to feel personal.

There’s something special about owning a piece that nobody else has. A tiny piece of art made just for you. When someone compliments your earrings (which they will), you get to say, “Thanks — they’re handmade, and they’re the only ones.”
That feeling is priceless, and it’s at the heart of RainbowRegalia.

Small batches = big heart.

When I do make more than one of something, it’s usually just a tiny batch. Maybe two pairs. Maybe three. Maybe five if the stars align. But never dozens. Never hundreds. Limited edition means exactly that: limited. Once the materials run out or the inspiration fades, the design retires — gracefully, proudly, and sometimes with glitter still stuck to it.
