Meet Moira
"The rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape is a constant source of inspiration for me. From the epic mountains of the Highlands to the dramatic cliffs of the coastline, the natural world is intricately woven into the fabric of my identity and I think this comes out in my designs."
MOIRA PATIENCE
Moira's Story
A curious and creative child, Moira’s fascination with gemstones and jewellery was formed in her early years. Her childhood memories are of an innate love of detail, of collecting little shells, flowers and beads, and obsessing over the sparkling contents of her glamorous mother’s jewellery box.
In her late teens, Moira began her jewellery training at D.O.J College of Art & Design before honing her skills with some of the world’s finest jewellery artisans, including Stephen Webster in London and Hamilton & Inches in Edinburgh.
Moira launched her eponymous jewellery brand in 2013, and soon carved a reputation for translating her clients' stories into truly personal jewellery. With nearly two decades of experience, Moira has a deep understanding of what makes jewellery so extraordinary.
"In an age where anyone can buy anything - the same goods from the same brands all over the world. I’m invested in creating truly exceptional, one-off pieces of jewellery, which are the very essence of luxury and elegance"
My Heart's in the Highlands
Patience, has been a well known family name in The Highlands of Scotland for centuries...
Moira's mother’s family is from a small fishing village on The Black Isle - a beautiful peninsula just north of Inverness. Moira was born up there and it’s a place that’s still very close to her heart.
"Through my rose tinted glasses I don’t remember it being cold or rainy – I have fond memories of swimming in the sea, watching dolphins from the point and searching for fairies in the forest."
