Dublin-based goldsmith Sam Lafford creates contemporary fine jewellery that fuses heritage craftsmanship with sculptural, modern design. Born in Africa into a family of makers, and trained with a background in engineering, he brings technical precision and storytelling to every piece.
His work combines rare gemstones, diamonds, and salvaged antique materials, resulting in jewellery that is both expressive and deeply personal. Signature collections include Jolly Rogers, Leading Lights, and Grá — each exploring themes of history, symbolism, and Irish cultural identity through contemporary form.
At DesignYard, we are proud to present Sam Lafford jewellery alongside leading Irish and European designers. Explore the collection below or visit us in Dublin to experience these distinctive pieces in person.
