Item details
Hello and welcome to my shop! Following my recent hand injury, I have a mountain of stone to cut and designs to process. So if you are looking for a stone or design that is not listed, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
I am inspired by the desire to create personal and meaningful keepsakes from ethically sourced materials.
My completely natural Scottish stone is hand collected and traceable to the region it was collected from. Every stone is unique, with its own markings, inclusions and imperfections, so let me know if you would like to view your stone prior to order.
I use recycled sterling silver in my designs, adding age, character and individuality through a combination of hammering and oxidisation.
Your personalised lettering and other symbols are applied using a hammer and punches creating a slightly imperfect quality that adds to the unique and personal nature of the design. As no two items are the same, I will always show you pictures of your finished piece to ensure your are happy with the result prior to dispatch.
You can also add a personalised message to the insert of your box which is handmade and typed using water-based ink on recycled paper, as are the accompanying booklets.
This item is made-to-order and will be posted to you by Caledonian Keepsakes within 7 days of receiving payment.

Full description
This pendant is designed to be a meaningful keepsake to mark a special occasion such as a milestone birthday, anniversary or graduation, or to serve as a treasured memorial to the loss of a loved one or birth of a child.
Handmade from scratch, you can choose an initial, age or symbol to discretely add significance to the design. If you choose to add a tag to your chain, this can also be personalised with a stamp. You can even add a personal message to the inside of your box.
Carnelian is the alternative birthstone for July but it has also been associated with May and August, and is the Special Apostle stone for April and the traditional gift for the 17th anniversary. It may also have been the original birthstone for Aquarius and January, recorded as Jacinth, and as such, the Guardian Angel stone for September and Special Apostle stone for October.
You can read the booklet that comes with my Fife carnelian designs in the images, or you can find this design with other Scottish stones in the Caledonian Keepsakes shop.
Approximate dimensions – the stones vary in size from 5-6mm and the ring is made to fit around it, approximately 12mm. The chain is 1.5mm curb.
Available stamps – initial, number, rune, zodiac symbol, heart, star, cross, peace or CND, smiley face or emoji, paw print
All of my designs are made with natural Scottish gemstone and recycled sterling silver. Please read the inspiration section for more information on my materials and processes.
