Niall Paisley embarked on his jewellery career in 1989, where he undertook a 5-year apprenticeship with B&B Setting under his Master Eddy Brown. Following this, Niall spent the next 10 years setting stones as an outworker for various names and companies, including Cartier and Leo de Vroomen. In 2005 he opened his own shop in Greenwich, specialising in bespoke jewellery and also ran a gallery that supported 40 to 50 young jewellery designers from the UK. In between all of this, Niall has taught setting at Holts Academy (known today as the BAJ) and now teaches on the Goldsmiths’ Company’s Apprenticeship Scheme here at the Goldsmiths’ Centre. Niall is a fellow of the IPG and has also judged the setting section of the Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council (GC&DC) competition.
