New Celtic Charm
We have been selling Celtic Jewellery since 1989 - some gold, some silver and quite a lot of pewter. After all that time, you'd think that we'd run out of new jewellery designs, but this quite simply isn't so. There are so many talented designers out there who create new work which is derived from the priciples of Celtic knotwork - and this is the latest pendant to be featured in our store.
Product Information
St. Clement's Church, Rodel, Harris is closely related to the Augustinian nunnery on Iona, a female effigy (known as sheela na gigs) can be found on the South of the Church with a "sister" found in the outer wall on Iona. St. Clement's is a treasure trove of late medieval masonry with several fine examples to be found on it's exterior walls. The Church is dedicated to St. Clement, the 3rd bishop of Rome (after St. Peter) who was martyred in AD 90. It is suspected that the church was commissioned by Alexander MacLeod of Dunvegan.
