New This Autumn: Our Strong, Dark, and Handsome Heirloom Range.

Written by Gemma Butler on Sep 12, 2022 | 2 Comments

Strong, dark, and handsome... No, we’re not talking about a Hollywood star! Instead, we've added some powerful new pieces to our range this autumn. Oxidized Sterling silver gives these pieces their dark and mysterious feel, while strong Celtic knot work and spellbinding stones like onyx, spinel and lapis lazuli combine for a handsome look.

With a rugged Celtic style that's perfect for sweater weather or upcoming holiday events, our new collection is for people who like to be noticed. Unadorned or set with spinel, onyx or lapis lazuli, they can be worn individually or as a set for high impact. Why not have a look at these fascinating new pieces?

Oxidized Sterling Silver & Lapis Lazuli

Vivid blue lapis lazuli and the cool, dark tones of oxidized Sterling silver are a match made in heaven. Prized by ancient Egyptian pharaohs, mentioned in the Bible, and coveted as a rare pigment worth more than gold by Renaissance painters, lapis lazuli, also known as lapis, is still a sought-after stone, perfect for jewelry.

Lapis Celtic Shield Pendant

Inspired by the battle armor of ancient Celtic warriors, this bold shield pendant makes for a powerful talisman of love and fidelity, set with rich blue lapis lazuli. The handsome Celtic knot frame that curls sinuously around its edge speaks of eternity and constancy, with no beginning or end.

The reverse of this pendant is as compelling as the front; whichever way it's worn, it's a magical addition to anyone's treasure chest.

Lapis Celtic Knot Dog Tag

If you're ready to combine the ancient with a more modern twist, this solid, stone-set dog tag is for you. The darkened silver knot-work frame highlights the striking unbroken design, giving an old-world feel and emphasizing the vibrant blue of the lapis inlay.

Lapis Celtic Knot Signet Ring

Or why not take your style cue from influential and wealthy people of the past? Signet rings have been worn for thousands of years by the powerful. In the days before PINs and passwords, and in times of low literacy, these pieces served as a means of identification and were passed down through families as treasured heirlooms from father to son. This stunning Sterling silver ring set with rich blue lapis lazuli will certainly link you to generations past, and to those that follow.

Oxidized Sterling Silver & Black Onyx

If you prefer a sleek, monochrome look, our new black onyx pieces are for you. Onyx was one of the first gemstones used in ancient jewelry. The Romans believed onyx bestowed courage. In Chinese culture, onyx was considered grounding. Renaissance Europeans wore onyx for eloquence, and it was believed to grant sincerity and self-control.

This handsome stone continues to be treasured and worn today for courage and determination.

Onyx Celtic Dog Tag

Onyx is a fitting stone for our handsome new Celtic Dog Tag. Durable and hard-wearing, onyx is perfect for use in heavyweight heirloom jewelry like this. Plus, the stone's courageous symbolism pairs perfectly with the heroic tradition of dog tags.

Onyx Celtic Cross Dog Tag

The iconic Celtic cross is another instantly recognized symbol, representing strong values for people around the globe including faith, strength and family. With an intricate Celtic knot design on the cross, frame and bale of the dog tag, this piece looks all the more striking against the polished depths of the black onyx stone.

Onyx Oxidized Cross

If you prefer this iconic symbol on its own, our Onyx Celtic Cross is for you. Set with a glittering, faceted black onyx stone at its center, this satisfyingly sturdy cross is a meaningful symbol of strength, faith, and family that can span generations.

The polished reverse of the cross includes ample space for engraving. Make this impressive piece truly your own, or add a deeply meaningful and thoughtful touch to a gift they will treasure forever.

Onyx Tree of Life Pendant

Our new Onyx Tree of Life pendant is another fabulous gift idea. A symbol of eternal life, connection, and spirituality, the tree of life is thought to bring balance, harmony and growth. This iconic symbol is mesmerizing, sitting in stark relief against a disc of inky black onyx.

Oxidized sterling silver & Black Spinel

Used in jewelry since antiquity, mesmerising and durable, spinel was treasured by kings and emperors and traded as spoils of war in ancient times. The black variety of spinel is a hard and enduring gemstone with a steely shine that catches the eye.

Thought to ground the wearer, bringing balance, passion, and strong resolve, spinel's strength makes it an ideal choice for heirloom jewelry that can stand up to tough wear.

Choose from our handsome Black Spinel Signet ring, Dog Tag, or cufflinks and wear them with confidence, assured that the spinel stones are securely set in heavyweight oxidized Sterling silver.

And as with our black onyx or lapis lazuli pieces, if you are smitten with black spinel, why not go all out and choose one of our gift sets?

Oxidized sterling silver

And for those that prefer the look of unadorned solid Sterling silver, our new oxidized pieces have you covered. With that striking polished Celtic knotwork set in commanding relief against a dark oxidized background, these sensational pieces are timeless.

Crafted in heavyweight Sterling silver, these pieces, and all of our new collection, have been hallmarked here in Ireland at the historic Dublin Castle, ensuring only premium materials are used for your jewelry.

Made for Gifting

With stunning symbolism and rugged good looks, our new collection is tailor-made for gifting. The perfect choice for a birthday, the holidays, an anniversary, or just because...

If spinel comes in other colors, will you have pieces of jewelry in these colors? Also will you have different pieces with the black spinel?
Thanks, Janis

Hi Janis, Thank you for checking out the new collection! We're excited to introduce these pieces. Spinel certainly is a very dynamic choice -- you have a great eye. While we don't have any plans at this time to introduce different color spinel, I've made sure to make a note of your interest in our workshop for future releases.
