Alice - My story
I have always had a deep fascination with trees and plants. When I first started making medieval jewellery I didn't really have much direction other than taking inspiration from old art, paintings, furniture and architecture. This was until I made a medieval style oak necklace which enchanted customers. I wondered whether I could make more leaves, so I did my research and came across the Celtic Ogham Tree Calendar; I felt an immediate affinity for it!
Before the Romans invaded, prior to the Latin alphabet, we had the Ogham, represented by scored lines in different orientations.
It is said that every letter had a tree / plant associated with it, and efficacies specific to each one. The Celtic Tree Calendar is based on the 13 Lunar Cycles, with corresponding dates to each tree.
Although most of the history of the Ogham has been lost in time and romanticised in the scholarly book "The White Goddess" by Robert Graves (1948), the ancient folklore associated with each tree, and its benefits to the mortal world still exists to this day.
My jewellery celebrates this lost history, combining my love for trees and the forgotten magic that surrounds them. I use all natural materials including brass, copper, gemstones and Swarovski crystals. I do not use any plastic packaging and maintain environmentally conscious ethics and practices in all aspects of my company
