This Brodgar Eye dress necklace features a circular design with a textured ring in its centre. The design measures approximately 29mm in diameter and is hand-enamelled in Sheila's 'Misty' colourway in our Orkney workshop.
This contemporary collection was inspired by Neolithic cup-and-ring rock carvings found at the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney. Lying between the great ceremonial stone circles of Brodgar and Stenness, the Ness has revealed more decorated stones than any other Neolithic excavation.
Sheila has imitated the stone texture of the cup-and-ring carvings through a technique known as reticulation. The design is then hand-enamelled to simulate rain gathering in the carved stone.
Note: Any measurements provided are approximate due to each piece being hand-finished.
