Item details
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 item is made-to-order and will be posted to you by Caledonian Keepsakes within 7 days of receiving payment.

Full description
This piece was a prototype for one of my Scottish made to order designs and is definitely less than perfect. It is made with clear quartz of unknown origin, and so is included in my Bargain Corner collection.
I have stamped the inside of the shield with the Algiz rune for protection, and have added some words from an ancient blessing, keep the light within, to the rim.
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.
Clear quartz may have been the original birthstone for Scorpio and October but is perhaps better known as an alternative for April. It is also known as the planetary stone for Leo and the traditional gift for the tenth anniversary.
Approximate dimensions – the pendant is about 16mm in diameter and 7mm deep. 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
