NEW Sheila Fleet Runic 'Orkney' Small Stud Earrings in Sterling Silver (E034)

These small Runic stud earrings in sterling silver feature runic text, each reading ‘Orkney’, on a curved oxidised silver design. The earrings are hand-finished in our Orkney workshop.

Sheila’s iconic Runic collection was inspired by inscriptions found inside Maeshowe, a Neolithic chambered cairn in Orkney, built around 2800 BC. Sometime around the 12th century, Vikings broke into the tomb and carved runes on the walls—their version of modern-day graffiti. Over thirty inscriptions have survived and represent the largest single collection of such carvings in the world.

Note: Any measurements provided are approximate due to each piece being hand-finished.
