Product Description
For over 400 years the bìrlinn or galley would have been a common sight in the seas of the Western isles and the Iona bìrlinn designs are taken from the medieval grave slabs of the Clan Chiefs, found in Iona's Reilig Odhrain. It was believed that the galley carried the Clan Chief's soul to 'Tir-nan-Og', the land of eternal youth.
This piece of jewellery is made from 100% recycled AgAIN silver which emits 2/3 less CO2 than mined silver. AgAIN Sterling Silver is top-quality silver which makes a real difference by helping hospitals to earn money from old X-rays which would normally be stored or sent to landfill, providing customers with a fully traceable and sustainable silver supply, and helping the planet by minimising AgAIN’s carbon footprint.
