Lunar - Sterling Silver and Enamel Necklace

This Lunar occasion necklace in sterling silver features a beautiful Lunar cup-mark textured design, hand-enamelled in 'Lunar Blue' enamel. The piece hangs elegantly from a silver wire.

Thousands of years ago at the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney, people carved hollows or cup-marks of various sizes in rough rock, perhaps to signify an event or to follow the passage of time as the moon waxed and waned. Sheila first sketched the idea behind this collection in 2012 while visiting the Orkney Museum in Kirkwall, where some of these carvings can be seen. Sheila’s designs are textured like the surface of rock and enamelled in a variety of colours.
