Lunar Sterling Silver Bracelet in Lichen Enamel

This sterling silver Lunar bracelet consists of four links of Sheila’s Lunar cup-mark design, each joined to the next by a solid silver bar. Each link is hand-enamelled in 'Lichen' enamel in our workshop in Orkney. 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.
