This Lunar bracelet in the larger ‘occasion’ size consists of eight sterling silver links of varying sizes, all featuring Sheila’s textured cup-mark design, and each one hand-enamelled in 'Lichen' enamel in our workshop in Orkney. The largest link measures approximately 30mm in diameter.
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.
