This pendant was hand dyed and imprinted with local wildflowers in Glenbrittle at the foot of the Cuillin Mountains. The 16 inch chain and jump ring is sterling silver. Each one is unique. This pendant features two layered pendants both with an imprint of Meadowsweet, Crocosmia and Wild Angelica.
Meadowsweet:
An ancient herb with the sweet smell of marzipan. Traditionally used to flavour mead and decrease inflammation. The Gaelic name of the plant “Lus Cuchulainn, reflects its legendary use to treat the great warrior Cuchulainn in a meadowsweet bath. In many parts of the Highlands, it was used medicinally to treat fever, and the scent of the blossom was said to cure headaches.
Crocosmia:
Due to its vibrant red colour, this flower symbolises passion, energy and joy.
Wild Angelica:
This bittersweet herb can be used as an aid to digestion. It was used as a vegetable until the 20th century.
