Our Roots

Our Roots

Hey Póg lovers, 

For those of you that don't know, at Póg, we are all about sharing love and creating meaningful connections. So on that note, what better way to celebrate than by diving into the rich history and development of Póg Jewellery?  

Let's take a journey through the origins of our unique brand, the inspiration behind our designs, and its deep connection to Irish heritage. 

 

The Heart Behind Póg 

Póg Jewellery was founded by Melissa Curry, a passionate and creative individual from County Sligo. Inspired by the heritage of the Claddagh and personal experiences, Melissa envisioned a brand that would connect people of Irish descent and promote love and empathy. The designs are not just beautiful pieces of jewellery; they are symbols of connection, love, and thoughtful gifting. 

 

The Inspiration and Design 

The inspiration behind Póg's designs comes from Melissa’s deep-rooted love for Irish culture and history. Each piece is crafted to soothe restless hands and minds, making them particularly beneficial for those with sensory processing differences. Our jewellery is unisex and designed to be worn by all genders, sexualities, and identities, promoting inclusivity and acceptance. Our mission is to create beautiful, meaningful jewellery while making a positive impact on the world through sustainable packaging and our 2.5% donation scheme to Jigsaw, a charity very close to the hearts at Póg. 

 

 

A Historic Connection 

Póg Jewellery is proudly located in the EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, a place of immense value to Irish history and culture. EPIC tells the story of Irish migration and lets you walk in the footsteps of ten million people who left Ireland and journeyed around the world. By being part of this museum, Póg not only celebrates Irish heritage but also connects with the global Irish community. Don’t be shy and come say hi at our store location and select your favourite Póg jewellery pieces! 

Top secret! We are also going to be announcing a new and exciting venture for Póg, so make sure to stay tuned with us on our social media! 

 


Connecting with Irish Heritage 

When you visit Póg, you are not just buying jewellery; you are connecting with a piece of Irish heritage. Each piece tells a story, and by wearing it, you become part of that story. We invite you to explore our collection, learn about our history, and celebrate the Irish love and connection that Póg represents. 

 

Visit us at the EPIC Museum and become part of the Póg family. 

XOXO
