Bronze age gold hair-ring, circa 1000 BC, on an 18-carat gold and silk necklace.
Nathair is a statement necklace, featuring a beautiful interplay of colour and curves - the buttery gold of a Celtic hair-ring that is over 21-carat in purity, threaded on a hand-braided purple silk kumihimo. The one-of-a-kind pendant section is handmade 18-carat gold, featuring a mesmerising violet and yellow 15-carat Golden Amethyst.
Celtic hair-rings were designed to be worn on plaits or knotted braids, often hung with colourful ribbons. This particular hair-ring is shaped to flare and taper at each end in a 'snake head' motif.
Nathair - meaning snake or Adder - interprets the love of flowing contours and vivid colour in the ancient world.
