Brodgar Eye Necklet

This Brodgar Eye necklace hangs delicately from a silver wire. The circular design features a single textured silver ring in its centre and is hand-finished in Misty enamel. The design measures approximately 44mm in diameter.

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.
