Wide Pictish Key Pattern Ring in Sterling Silver
Key patterns are the angular counterpart to Celtic knotwork: where knotwork uses flowing curves, key patterns move in sharp right-angle turns, creating a continuous geometric maze that never crosses itself. At 12.5mm wide, this band gives the Pictish pattern room to complete multiple full repeats around the circumference, transforming it from a decorative accent into the ring's dominant feature. Drawn from the same tradition of carved stonework and manuscript art that flourished in early medieval Scotland, this is a bold, architectural piece suited for everyday wear.
