‘Roman Beastie' Sterling Silver Brooch by Ola Gorie

£200.00

S48

Made in 1996 by the award winning Orcadian jewellery designer, Ola Gorie, ‘Roman Beastie’ was inspired by a Romano-British dragonesque brooch in the British Museum.

This ‘Roman Beastie’ features an interlaced s-shaped design of Celtic dragon heads, separated by a lattice patterned central area encompassing smaller dragon head style motifs.

Located on the Island of Orkney since 1960, Gorie is known for exploring her Celtic and Norse heritage to find inspiration for stylish, wearable, modern jewellery. Her jewellery is made using the ancient process of lost wax casting and then finished by hand.

Gorie was awarded an MBE in 1999 in recognition of her work both as a designer and as a founder of the modern jewellery industry.
