tweny five year journey started in her family’s Brooklyn fine jewellery

and Marketing and a Graduate Gemologist Degree from the Gemological
Institute of America, Christina began grading diamonds for Tiffany &
Co, NY and opened her own shops in New York City (Manhattan) and the
Hamptons. Christina’s strong links to Ireland brought her to this side

recruited in 2006 to help launch Boodles Jewellers in Dublin.
Christina launched her own line ChristinaBelle in 2010, designing and creating her collections in her studio in Cabinteely, Co Dublin. She re-branded to Christina Goldston Jewellery in 2018 and gave the brand a fresh, new, sophisticated look. Christina’s work features intricate beading with semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, crystals and metals such as sterling silver and gold vermeil.
