Runic ‘Orkney’ 7-link Bracelet In Skaill Enamel

This Runic bracelet in sterling silver features seven enamelled links with silver runic text. Each runic inscription reads ‘Orkney’ and is hand-enamelled in ‘Skaill’ enamel in our Orkney workshop.

Sheila’s iconic Runic collection was inspired by inscriptions found inside Maeshowe, a Neolithic chambered cairn in Orkney, built around 2800 BC. Sometime around the 12th century, Vikings broke into the tomb and carved runes on the walls—their version of modern-day graffiti. Over thirty inscriptions have survived and represent the largest single collection of such carvings in the world.
