This is my interpretation of the ancient figure of Sheela Na Gig. Found throughout Europe but mostly in Ireland, she is a figure that is seen mostly in carvings on churches and buildings, often above doors to ward off death or evil spirits. She has an exaggerated vulva that she’s holding open with her hands. I think she’s a magnificent creature - she might represent fertility, feminine power or sexuality as well as having a protective function. Read more about her HERE.

Each piece is cast in precious metal from a meticulously carved master, and is hand polished. Items will have some variation in their finish from the one pictured, making each one individual and retaining that handmade feel. They are available in sterling silver, 14k gold-plated silver, or solid 18k yellow gold in a brushed satin finish.

Gold plated items are plated in 14k yellow gold over sterling silver. The plating will last fairly well - about a year - if the piece is not worn constantly or worn so that it rubs against other items of jewellery. It can be re-plated for a fee - please enquire by e-mail.
