Liwu means gift, the gift of symbols
That magic and power is at the heart of Liwu Jewellery. Liwu means gift, and every gift carries a message and a meaning. You deserve every good thing. You are not alone. You are loved. Designer Áine Breen’s jewellery captures these messages in symbols of pure gold and silver, so that the meaning can never be mistaken or forgotten. As a gift to yourself or as a gift to a dear one, each piece speaks directly to the heart.
Symbols carry the gift of meaning across distances, cultures, and generations. It grounds us, steadies us, helps us understand our world and ourselves. It is a touchstone that reminds us of what matters most and tells us that even the simplest moments are sacred. A talisman to carry on our way. A re-enchantment of the everyday. Symbols do that for us. So does Liwu Jewellery.
Áine's introduction to meaningful symbols and language began in 2011, when she moved from Ireland to China with her husband and discovered her creative side. Eager to learn more about Chinese culture, Áine took a course in Chinese calligraphy. One of the first characters she discovered was for love, which she learnt meant ‘life to the heart and grace to the body’. I was immediately struck by how subtle yet significant this moving heart and body character was. I wanted a necklace with these characters' -Áine.
In a moment, Liwu Jewellery was born. Liwu is the mandarin word for gift.
'My aim is to bring symbols to life through beautiful, sustainable, timeless pieces of jewellery, which can be worn by anyone, anywhere'
Áine Breen, Founder Liwu Jewellery
Ireland's culture is deeply rooted in ancient Celtic culture and celtic symbols and in 2014, Áine moved back home to Ballymoney, near Gorey in Co Wexford in the sunny south east of Ireland. A sense of belonging and connection to home, something she is truly grateful for and wanted the same for her young family.
In the farm yard of her home, Áine converted an old building to a studio from where she sends meaningful fine jewellery in recycled gold and silver around the world.

Each piece is forged in recycled and conflict free gold and silver. A 'meaning card' explaining the message behind the symbol is included with every piece, individually wrapped and boxed in substainable packaging.
