Gold

My favourite pendant and earrings. The pendant was made by Declan Killen in Dublin, the earrings by Brian de Staic in West Kerry.


The etchings spell my name in the ancient Irish script called Ogham. It distinguished between vowels and consonants by marking horizontally or obliquely on a vertical line.
Further detailed info on Ogham can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogham


Original ogham etchings can be seen on this standing stone in the Dingle peninsula

What a gorgeous set. I never wear earrings (can't stand the feeling) but I always admire them on other women.

Very cool oghams. Great finish on the gold too, and a very nice choice of background!
