This pendant is a piece crafted from ancient Irish bog oak, sourced from the former bogs near Athenry, County Galway. Its organic form retains the wild, elemental character of the wood—untamed and raw—yet its delicately enhanced with a rich seam of real gold leaf running through a natural split. This vivid line of gold gleams like light breaking through stone, a symbol of resilience and hidden beauty. This why this is called Sólás  - meaning Light, comfort, or solace. Just like the light (gold) emerging from the darkness (bog oak).

The pendant is finished with 23.75ct yellow gold leaf and a gold filled hooplet. It comes with either a 40cm/16" or 45cm/18" gold plated 1.1mm snake chain. 

This one of a kind piece will be presented in matt black cardboard jewellery box which is made from material sourced from well-managed, FSC®-certified forests as well as other controlled sources. I have chosen these so we can support responsible forestry - in this case where no more trees are cut down than the forest can reproduce. The box doesn't contain tarnish-accelerating chemicals which will help keep it as when it arrives for longer!

It will be packed in a matt black eco friendly shipping bag (60 µm thick which provides your precious with ultimate protection) made out of recycled plastic. It will be shipped with standard post but just contact me if you would prefer to have it registered and we can arrange. 

To get the most out of your jewellery we recommend that you handle it with care - some pieces can be fragile. Please also keep it away from water and dampness if possible and store it in a dry place. Sharp objects or surfaces can mark them. We finish the jewellery with some linseed oil and if the item has lost some of its spark you can use this or similar to freshen up the colours. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth and do not use harsh chemicals or cleaners, as they can damage the finish of the wood, silver/gold and necklace.
