The Jean Butler Jewelry Collection – Beauty Through Movement
Jean Butler is an Irish jewelry designer whose collection and design approach is inspired by her past, her dancing and her native Ireland. Most people would recognize Jean as an internationally renowned Irish dancer who is best known as the star of the global phenomenon Riverdance.
Jean Butler grew up in New York surrounded by images and stories of all things Irish. Her mother, originally from County Mayo on the west coast of Ireland, took her to her first Irish Dance class at the age of just four, and the rest, as they say, is history. Nowadays Jean has become one of Ireland’s great cultural ambassadors and is now a jewelry designer who has now transformed the Irish jewelry scene with her exciting jewelry range.

Where it all began – The Irish Connection
Jean’s interest in jewelry started at a young age, playing in her mother’s jewelry box. It was there she found Irish Jewelry pieces such as iconic Claddagh rings, Tara brooches, a St. Bridget’s Cross of all shapes and sizes. Pieces that were authentically Irish and were worn with a great sense of pride, symbolizing a true and everlasting connection with Ireland and its heritage and traditions.
‘In New York it is said that wearing a Claddagh ring says something about you – it helps identify you, and makes you feel special.’ It was this feeling and sense of purpose that became the inspiration for the Jean Butler Jewelry Collection.
This sowed a set that would grow into her fine jewelry designs. Her future was set.

“I feel my Irishness has always been expressed by the jewelry I wear. Growing up of Irish descent, I was surrounded by images of Ireland that even today remind me of who I am and where I come from. These images are the inspiration for the May Collection. Named after my Grandmother, the connection to my Irish heritage will always remain.” – Jean Butler
