6000 Year Old Irish Bog Yew And Silver Wooden Necklace, Unique outlet 5th Anniversary Gift Handmade In Ireland, Ancient Bogwood Gift For Her

Adorned with 3 Sterling silver dots, this outstanding and unique hand-carved 6000 year old Irish Bog yew pendant has been made for you, or a loved one, in my studio on the West of Ireland.

Bog Yew comes from ancient forests that once covered Ireland. Huge Yew trees have been buried in peat bogs and preserved from decay by the acidic and anaerobic bog conditions, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of years. The wood is usually stained brown by tannin dissolved in the acidic water. Bog-wood represents the early stages in the fossilization of wood, with further stages ultimately forming lignite and coal over a period of many millions of years.

Considered one of the Sacred trees in the Celtic world, the Yew has long been associated with immortality & longevity. As a consequence, warriors and poets alike were often called after it. Indeed, Eoghan remains one of the more popular Irish names in modern Ireland. The Druids chose yew from which to make their wands, or staffs. Being so long-lived, it was seen as having powerful magical properties.

Light and elegant, this bog yew wood pendant is suitable for both everyday wear and for that special occasion! It is the perfect gift for anyone with Irish heritage or for someone who resonates with the Celtic myths and traditions of the natural world.
Another element that actively influences my work is the contrast between silver and wood. In this piece, I find the inherent attractiveness of the black color is greatly enhanced by its proximity to the silver part.
