Cross of the Kirk Silver Necklace in Crystal Enamel Enamel-Crystal Up Helly AaThis Cross of the Kirk necklace in sterling silver and 'Cool Slate' enamel is hand enamelled in our Orkney workshop. The design is approximately 19mm x 23mm and hangs elegantly on a sterling silver wire. A collection inspired by a wooden carving found in the former St Andrews Parish Church in Tankerness, Orkney. The carving may have been made in the early 18th century, when the church was built, or may be much older. Sheila has reinterpreted the cross
