It was a Sunday afternoon when I, Fabio Oliveira, a tropical dreamer currently based in the cozy welcoming city of Cork, Ireland, opened my mind, let my creativity loose, and Mo Ghrian was born. On that Sunday, the rare Irish sun flashed through my window, reminding me of my home town in Northeast of Brazil, where the sun shines almost every day and the heat pushes me to enjoy the nature that is all around us. Sandy beaches, astonishing, long and beautiful tropical coasts, or even the dry and sharp countryside full of wilderness, it is all there. It made me think of how different it is over here in Ireland, yet the sun keeps pushing me to not only see a remarkable nature around, but also to embrace the new opportunities life gives us. Like the sun illuminates our paths, Mo Ghrian appeared as a real personal light in my life. Mo Ghrian, Irish for “My sun”, has brought a real passion to my days. With the seed of curiosity and the fondness for gemology, I decided to draw my first piece on paper, and from there, I understood the potential. Inevitably, the possibility of creating jewellery was love at first sight.

The passion for precious gems ignited the flame of creation, which continues to burn brightly within our collections. The allure of natural, unusual and scarce gems is integrated seamlessly into every piece, carefully crafted with an alchemy of metalsmithing techniques. Made slowly and lovingly on the cozy, rainy Emerald Isle, each unique creation is infused with intention and mindfulness, waiting to find a new home where its radiance will shine. The source of inspiration behind these beautiful pieces is as enigmatic as the creative process itself - a mysterious cauldron of ideas that bubbles within the mind. Influenced by the beauty of art nouveau, visionary art, and music, and nourished by the rich cultural heritage, roots, and personal experiences. In a world that seeks to confine everything within boxes and rigid definitions, I prefer the simple idea that my art is a kind of language that my mind finds to express itself, when words are not enough.
