The History Behind the Design The Birsay collection draws its direct inspiration from a historic, small lead disc discovered during excavations on the Brough of Birsay—a tidal island off the Orkney Mainland. During the 7th and 8th centuries, this site was a thriving hub for Pictish metalworking, where master craftsmen created detailed pins, brooches, and rings. By wearing this pendant, you carry a piece of Scotland’s vibrant artistic past.
