This small Ogham pendant in rare and exclusive 18ct yellow Scottish Gold is inscribed with Ogham text that reads ‘A blessing on the soul’ and is enhanced with a diamond set by hand in our Orkney workshop. The design delicately drops from a gold chain and measures approximately 16mm in diameter.
This collection was inspired by an Ogham inscription on the Buckquoy spindle-whorl stone, dating from the Early Middle Ages, and found at Buckquoy in Birsay, Orkney, in 1970. The inscription in Ogham is believed to read ‘a blessing on the soul’.
Scottish Gold comes from the Cononish Gold Mine in remote hills, near the village of Tyndrum in the west of Scotland. The luxurious metal is cast and beautifully finished in the Sheila Fleet Jewellery workshop in Orkney. The final piece is then tested by Edinburgh Assay Office before being hallmarked as authentic, pure Scottish Gold. All Sheila Fleet Scottish Gold jewellery is supplied in a luxury presentation box, accompanied by a unique serial number and certificate of authenticity. Mined, designed and made in Scotland.
* Please note our pendant chains are standard 18ct gold, not Scottish Gold. Pendants can be ordered without chains by special request.
