Last week we went to see a large collection of wonderful Pictish stones at the Meigle museum in Perthshire, Scotland. You might recognise some of these stone carvings as a lot of our jewellery is inspired by them. How many of these symbols do you recognise?

A wee lost ring from Orkney left behind a perfect impression in a mould so it could be recreated over 1000 years later.

The Foss cross. One of the most iconic pieces of Viking Age art, but is it a Christian cross, a Pagan Thors hammer or a combination of them both?

This intricate ring is based on a broken ring fragment from Iona which is now in the National Museum of Scotland.
It has parallels in Pictish, Saxon and Irish cultures but the origin of the ringβs manufacture is not known for sure.
This ring is made in two parts with the central detail gold plated and set with a glass cabochon before being riveted in place with 2 silver rivets.
A truly regal looking artefact! What kind of person do you think wore the original ring?

This beautiful Pictish ring is based on a gilt silver bezel found by a detectorist near Montrose. Its similarities to the Burghead ring are very self evident and being made from precious metal will complete your high status Pictish reenactment kit with a touch of regality.
