Magnificent Viking Jewellery - At Affordable Prices.

We have now come to the happy month of May, you can actually make merry with exclusive pieces to mark the start of spring from Orkney designer jewellers. They carry rings, earring along with brooches in their May Queen collection, and also Viking jewellery, because the Norse recognized May time as well. Orkney's designer jewellers hand make all of their products.

The May Queen range created by designer jewellers to acknowledge the rites of May and commentate the May Queen are memorable Orkney items. In Orkney girls usually climbed up a very high hill to wash their faces in the gentle May Dew that is thought to have magical properties for a stunning complexion and remove freckles and spots. We can't supply dew, but we can provide Viking jewellery along with classic ranges.

In other places in the United Kingdom the May Queen was a teenage girl who wore a white gown to symbolise chastity and was crowned with a bouquet of flowers. This girl led a parade prior to maypole dancing began.

Not all Maytime tales are happy ones however. A sinister twist is the fact that often the May Queen was sacrificed as soon as the activities were over. And in Orkney May indicated the time when shoes or boots were taken away from young boys and girls who went barefoot until the harvest. This was a very practical measure to save shoe leather.

Orkney's May Queen earrings and rings, and also brooches in gold or silver, are inspired by a series of gesso panels exhibited in Vienna in 1900, entitled the May Queen. The panels' founder, Margaret Macdonald was married to famous Glasgow architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. These panels were considered to be her best work and also to have inspired the artist Gustav Klimt.

Brilliant Designer Jewellers Are Inspired by Viking Jewellery Designs.

The May Queen panels were initially set up in the famed Mackintosh designed Ingram Street Tearooms in Glasgow. These were among the first pieces of art to inspire one of Orney's most well known designer jewellers when she was setting up more than Fifty years ago. Through the creative moulding and polishing of precious metal, this timeless jewellery echoes the original panels' utilization of mother of pearl, tin leaf and also glass beads. This jewellery is definitely a classic in the Glasgow Style which continues to be inspiring to this day.

Norse religion refers to the religious customs of the Norsemen prior to Christianisation of Scandinavia, specifically during the Viking Age and includes the marking of the seasons, which includes May Day. Norse religion is really a part of Germanic paganism, that had been practiced within the lands inhabited by the Germanic tribes across nearly all Northern and also Central Europe. Knowledge of Norse religion is generally drawn from the results of archaeological field work, etymology and early written materials. In Orkney archaeologists have derived information and facts through grave goods, that include stunning brooches.

The Wild Hunt was actually a popular folklore found in Scandinavian and Germanic myth, also in later folklore in the United Kingdom and northern Europe, which had changed throughout the centuries. This group of hunters were variously known as Furious Host or Raging Host. In Norse myths, the original leader of the hunt was the god Odin, identified in Germanic myth as Wodan. Odin rode the eight-legged horse, called Sleipnir. His company of hunters were the Valkyries and also the dead soldiers who resided with him in Valhalla. The hunt started on Winter Nights (October 31) and finished on May Eve (April 30) on the next year. Those two nights were unique, because lights go out on all Nine Worlds and spirits and goblins are free to roam around the earth's surface.

So, enjoy spring in your own way, perhaps by using a May Queen set of earrings, ring or brooch made by designer jewellers and don't forget how our Norse ancestors and forefathers marked this part of the year, with Viking jewellery to catch a person's eye.
