Hi folks, I'm taking a wee break to manage my kids phased return to school after the latest illness. I'll be back ASAP but feel free to get in touch if you need something urgently.

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 is a custom-made item and cannot be returned unless faulty.
Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
Full description
Handmade from scratch in recycled sterling silver, one side of the pendant has a hare looking up at a moon made from reticulated silver, with Eadsale slate representing the night sky and pyrite suggesting the stars. The other side displays this natural Scottish stone in a slightly hammered bezel. The bale is stamped with tiny stars and the metal has been oxidised to add definition and character. If you choose to add a tag to your chain, this can be personalised with an initial, rune, zodiac or other symbol from the list. You can even add a personal message to the inside of your box.
With slate carrying connotations of wisdom and resilience, and pyrite associated with luck and success, this would make a meaningful gift for a loved one. I like to think of it as the Scottish version of lapis lazuli, and as such it translates as a particularly fitting gift for an April or Taurus birthday.
You can read the booklet that comes with my Hebridean Slate designs in the images.
Approximate dimensions – the pendant is about 14mm in width and 25mm overall length, of which the bale is around 7mm. The chain is 1.5mm curb and the tag is a 7mm disc.
Available stamps – initial, number, rune, zodiac symbol, heart, star, cross, peace or CND, smiley face or emoji, paw print
The stone in this pendant rocks very slightly in the bezel because it is not completely flat on the back. For this reason I have added it to bargain corner.
