Description
Open knotwork design in sterling silver, this stunning ring has been hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office. This ring was designed and made in the Scottish Hebrides.
The ring is named after the island of Pabbay which is one of the small islands near Barra. According to Wikipedia –
Pabbay (Scottish Gaelic: Pabaigh) is an uninhabited island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland which lies in the Sound of Harris between Harris and North Uist. The name comes from Papey, which is Norse for “Island of the papar (Culdee)”.
The island was once very fertile, supporting a three-figure population and exporting corn, barley and illicit whisky. Most of the stewards of St. Kilda were Pabbay men. The island was cleared for sheep in 1846. Pabbay is traditionally a home of Clan Morrison.
Supplied with a presentation box.
