Iona Bloodstone and Marble Trinity Twist Pendant
This pendant was born from a trip to Scotland's Isle of Iona, where Stephen Walker hand-picked its two stones from the beach: the iconic Iona Bloodstone (also known as Lewisian Gneiss) and Iona Marble, known to locals as the "Tears of Iona." The triangular trinity twist frame in sterling silver draws inspiration from Archibald Knox, the turn-of-the-century designer from the Isle of Man who helped revive Celtic ornament for a modern age. Celtic interlace knotwork joins the two stones at the center, its continuous, unbroken strands connecting these pieces of Scottish landscape to the broader tradition of Celtic art and design. Pendant measures 2 1/4" (56.5mm) tall by 1 1/4" (31mm) wide.
