I do love a highland cow product (especially jewellery) and my garden is filled with Scottish heather (despite liking in the North West of England). Heathergems, as the name suggests, have created a line of sterling silver jewellery which incorporate ls Scottish heather and the items are made in Scotland.
The Scottish heather is gathered from the Perthshire hillside, which helps the local wildlife and generate the local area, cut and clean the heather, dye the heather and compress the stems into resin and compressed under 60 tonnes to create a block which is then cut to size and crafted into wearable pieces of art. Due to this process no two pieces are the same colour, so this little cow is unique! Visit there website for a more detailed explanation and pictures of the process.
The cow or coo (£36.95) comes in a beautiful gift box. Each piece is handmade and multicoloured and unique to you. The cow measures 32x22mm and hangs on a 18” sterling silver necklace. The front of the cow is slightly curved giving him more dimension whilst the back is flat so comfortable to wear. It is a beautiful piece and would make a great gift for yourself or someone who likes highland cows.
I think the whole range is great, it is eco friendly, made in Scotland, you can visit the visitors centre and watch the items being made. There is nothing not to like about Heathergems The products are reasonably priced especially as they are handmade.
I purchased this item myself and the views expressed in this blog are my own.
So so cute
