Kells Serpent pendant - 73P

Kells Serpent pendant - 73PThe Book of Kells has an illustration in the Gospel of Mark in which there is a tiny serpent with an elegantly intertwined head and body. The sepent was respected for his wisdom and for his apparently miraculous ability to shed his skin and be "reborn". We adapted the minute drawing to make this design and the little serpent was reborn some 1000 years after he first appeared. A wonderful conversation piece and a design unique to Skye Silver. 24x20mm

Our version is produced by deep laser engraving on silver and the oxidised background provides the perfect contrast for the elegant lines of the design

The fascinating shape of a small piece of driftwood from the shore was just too much to resist and we turned it into this solid silver replica which makes a very substantial and eyecatching pendant
