This sterling silver Breckon Necklace features a three-wave design, hand-enamelled in our Orkney workshop in Peacock enamel. The piece hangs delicately from a silver wire.
This collection was designed by Sheila in 2008 for Roy Leask, Lerwicks Guizer Jarl at Shetlands world-famous fire festival, Up Helly Aa. Each year the Jarl portrays a Viking character from the sagas, and usually with some kind of link to their own family. With Roys daughter living in Orkney, he chose to be Kol Kalison who supervised the building of St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkneys main town.
Sheila designed the piece to reflect the detail on the Up Helly Aa squads outfit, which was inspired by the wave design on a carved circular stone in St Magnus Chapel.
