About Le Chéile
Le Cheile is a Belfast based jewellery brand that bases design around art and fashion. We established Le Chéile to create a high end Irish fashion brand that expresses modern Irish culture.
We get a lot of our inspiration from ‘Irish Grannys’ - we love the chunky rings, layered necklaces and statement earrings. We thought by taking inspiration from the older generation and add a modern flare to it.
We love the idea that the older women in our lives have jewellery from when they were “our age”. By adding a modern twist to the “Irish Granny” jewellery and make it more appealing to the new generation of women hopefully it will be something that they have when they’re older.
At Le Chéile we (friends Cara Mahon and Niamh McCluskey) curate and design seasonal volumes of jewellery using 925 Sterling Silver and 22ct Gold Plating - everything is designed, created and packed in our workshop in Belfast.

“Hi! I’m Niamh McCluskey and I’m one half of Le Chéile. I have a background in Fashion Management and Womens-wear Buying which compliments Cara’s metal work skills. I mostly focus on jewellery design and social media at the minute but developing my metal skills. We started Le Chéile during Covid lockdown after we both realised life was too short to not do the things you love. Our first collaboration on Vol.1 is just an insight on what the future holds at Le Chéile! I’m excited for what’s to come!”
“Hey! Im Cara Mahon and I’m the other half of Le Chéile. After finishing my degree in Silversmithing & Jewellery in Ulster University I knew it was just the start of my metal work career. Im very lucky to have been working as a jeweller in Belfast for the past year developing my skills to be able to create this volume of work. I love working alongside Niamh - her eye for fashion really compliments my skills and we work together so well. We decided on the name Le Chéile (Gaeilge :‘Together’) as it fitted into our work and what we are portraying as a brand. I am so excited for what the future holds here at Le Chéile”
