This is a beautifully made piece of 1970s Scottish silver jewellery.
It takes the form of pendant. The design is similar of other ones used by Malcolm Gray or Ola Gorie at Ortak in the early 1970s at Orkney - but this one hails from Shetland and was made by James Kerr, who was based at Lerwick.
It is hallmarked with an Edinburgh Assay Office stamp and with the date letter for 1973. It is also impressed on the reverse with the maker's marks: JCK.
James Kerr worked for a while teaching art at the Anderson High School in Shetland as well as making his fine jewellery. Much of which was inspired by his native land, as well as Celtic or Viking myths.
This is a pretty little Scottish design by Kerr. It measures 3 cm in diameter. The length of the silver chain is 18 1/2 inches (47 cm). It has a ring clasp to open up the chain.
It is in lovely clean vintage condition - and is now 50 years old.
It will be sent to you in a little plain black gift box - and with Royal Mail Recorded Delivery. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
