About RainbowRegalia | Handmade Jewellery, Greystones, Wicklow
Hello! I’m Eleanor — jewellery maker, background actor, and professional collector of tiny, sparkly things that usually end up under the settee.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. If you’re looking for mass-produced, soul-crushing plastic, you’ve taken a wrong turn. Everything here is handcrafted in my home studio in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, usually while I’m listening to 8Radio and trying to convince myself that bio-resin on my elbows is a "fashion choice." Every piece of RainbowRegalia jewellery is a one-off, designed for people who want Irish gifts that actually have a story.
🎬 From Werewolves to Workbenches
When I’m not losing my mind over a stubborn jump ring, I’m often working as a background actor. My CV is… eclectic. I’ve been a werewolf, a drug addict, a witch, and a SOCO worker. I’ve mastered the art of being a “woman in pub” and a “blurred person walking in the distance.”
It’s a glamorous life, truly. But being on set fuels my creativity. I draw inspiration from the high-octane drama of film sets, the vintage glamour of old Hollywood, and the gorgeous, slightly eccentric people I meet who always want to see what I’ve been tinkering with between takes.
🌿 The "Accidental" Business
RainbowRegalia started in the middle of the pandemic. I needed a creative outlet that wasn't baking another loaf of sodden banana bread or doomscrolling until my eyes bled. I picked up some tools, fell down a rabbit hole, and never came back up.
I’m completely self-taught. That means no fancy degrees—just a lot of experimenting, failing, swearing, and eventually making something so shiny I had to share it.
✨ Why RainbowRegalia is Different
I don’t do "boring." I make jewellery that feels personal, thoughtful, and a little bit magical.
-
Eco-Friendly & Upcycled: I spend a ridiculous amount of time rescuing broken bits, vintage treasures, and "found" buttons. I believe jewellery with a history is always more interesting.
-
The Lucky Punt: I’m a sucker for nostalgia. My coin collection is my way of bringing "the old money" back to life for the people who remember it (and the ones who just think it looks cool). [See the Lucky Punt Nostalgia Edit]
-
One-of-a-Kind: I genuinely can’t replicate pieces. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. You’re not just buying a necklace; you’re buying the only one in the world.
💜 My Philosophy: Wear the Story
I want you to feel brighter, bolder, and more like yourself when you wear my pieces—even if "yourself" is just trying to get through a Tuesday without crying in the supermarket.
Jewellery shouldn't just match your outfit; it should match your mood. Whether you’re a statement earring person or a "subtle sparkle" person, I’ve got you covered.
“I wore your earrings on set and three people tried to buy them off me. Help.” – A very happy customer.
Thank you for being here. Every order helps me keep the lights on and the prosecco cold. Have a look around, and if you want something custom, quirky, or inspired by a favourite memory—I’d love to make it for you.
