Following on from the sneak peek post last week, here is one of the treasures available now!✨ Large gold plated bronze brooch based on an unprovenanced early medieval Celtic “brooch”, possibly from Islandbridge, which may have been a reliquary fitting.

Set with vintage gold foil backed glass cabochons in the eyes and a Baltic amber cabochon in the disc. Under the amber there is a thin disk of polished sterling silver foil to give the amber a shining effect.

Have a looky at our “New” section on the website for more!

Some new treasures are available now, take a look! In this precious bunch there is an improved version of the Whalebone Dragon Plaque pendant in silver.

This miniature piece is based on Viking grave find from Scar, Orkney. The original plaque is huge compared to this wee pendant. What was its purpose? Was it a serving platter? A ceremonial object? What do you think?

What does this symbol mean to you? Do you celebrate Summer Solstice?
