Item details
Apologies for the disruption. I've had a wee accident involving my thumb and a car door. The shop will be closed until Monday 26th at least.
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 Scottish thistle necklace in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh is a prototype design that may or may not become a made to order design. I was unhappy with the solder joins and finish on this so it has ended up in bargain corner.
The words on the frame were taken from a quote by mackintosh himself and the stone is a piece of jasper from the Campsie Fells, just outside of Glasgow. So I think this piece would speak to an artist, particularly of the Glasgow School of Art. If you choose to add a tag to the chain you can personalise it with a 3mm stamp or two 1.5mm stamps and you can add a personal message to the inside of your box.
Approximate dimensions – 38mm high by 14mm wide
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.
