Sheila Fleet Runic 'Orkney' Petite Necklace in Sterling Silver (P0034)

This Runic petite pendant necklace in sterling silver features runic text on an oxidised silver background. The sterling silver runes read ‘Orkney’ and the curving design elegantly drops from a silver curb chain.

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.
