Hallmarked Solid Gold Earrings Inscribed in Ogham with the Irish word Sláinte.

Sláinte is the Irish word that bestows good health upon another, and Ogham (pronounced O.M.) writing is the earliest known form of writing in Ireland.

Predating the Latin and Irish of ancient monastic paper manuscripts, Ogham was instead carved into standing stones. 360 of these standing stones survive in Ireland, dating from centuries that saw the collapse of the Roman Empire across Europe and before arrival of Christianity to Ireland.

Martina has taken this timeless greeting and Gaelic wish for good health to be bestowed upon those we love and hold dear, and etches it in Ogham into a beautiful set of solid gold drop earrings. As with so much of Martina's jewellery she seeks to emulate the raw natural weathered beauty of ancient Ogham standing stones through her lustrous surfaces and the deep etching of the Ogham characters. The edges of the gold bars are given fluidity and softness with gently sculpted sides.

Hallmarked 9 carat yellow gold pieces 3cm (H) X 0.5cm (W) Sold gold earring wires.

About the Artist

Jewellery designer, artist and founder of The Cat & The Moon, Martina Hamilton has been creating award-winning collections from her Sligo studio for over thirty years. Her work is inspired by the wild beauty of Ireland’s northwest coast—shaped by light, landscape and a deep sense of place.

Every design begins with her connection to the landscape. The movement of the tide, the texture of stone, the shifting light—all find quiet expression in her jewellery, handcrafted in precious metals and made to be worn, cherished and passed on.
