There is a little studio in Kilkenny changing the jewellery game, one live stream at a time.

Irene Leahy is the owner and designer of IMB Designs and has a unique way of giving her customers full access to her creative process.

Irene creates one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery.

Speaking to Alison Curtis on Weekend Breakfast Irene said, "Unfortunately I often make pieces for people who have lost a loved one.... pieces that hold ashes or hair, or I make a piece of jewellery from their wedding bands or a piece of jewellery they may have worn."

Irene also live streams the process, allowing a real personal connection with the piece to flourish.

Every Sunday on Weekend Breakfast for the next few weeks, Alison will promote small businesses in Ireland and Champion Green have joined forces with us!

Let’s all rise. Let’s support local.
