Silver Jewellery UK – Inspired By a Bishop

The themes for silver jewellery uk are never-ending – from traditional to modern day designs. Ola Gorie’s Breckness collection is actually an instance of today’s sort of unusual jewellery influenced by antiquity.

Breckness House on the rugged Orkney shoreline north of Stromness was built in 1633 by George Graham, the last bishop of Orkney. Above the threshold are his initials and the Episcopal Arms. The ruins of the L-plan mansion house, that had alterations in the 18th or 19th century, are roofless. But the primary entry is still noticeable, as are lintels and a massive arched kitchen fireplace. The remains of this once palatial house are located in the west entrance of Hoy Sound. There is also an age-old graveyard, with a semi-demolished church along with the ruins of a monastery close by. The style of this fantastic property is the inspiration for Ola’s silver jewellery UK Breckness earrings.

The Breckness assets passed to Bishop Graham after the trial and execution of Earl Patrick Stewart in 1615. The bishop also constructed Skaill House, a superb mansion which still stands at this time. You can get access to Skaill House within the entry fee to the Neolithic township of Skara Brae. He designed what is now the middle wing of the house in about 1620.

George Graham who passed away in 1643 was Bishop of Dunblane and Bishop of Orkney with the Church of Scotland from 26 August 1615. The Bishop of Orkney was the ecclesiastical head of the Diocese of Orkney, one of 13 medieval bishoprics within the territory of contemporary Scotland. It contained both Orkney and Shetland. It had been based primarily for nearly all of its historical past at St. Magnus’ Cathedral, Kirkwall.

Graham held the bishopric for upwards of three decades. But, he along with all the other bishops of Scotland was deprived of his see on 18 November 1638. There had been claims that he’d ignored his obligations and used church property to benefit his family. He was also charged with being lenient on witches and lax on adultery and incest.

He renounced his rights to the bishopric a couple of months later, on 11 February 1639, after being confronted by the Assembly at Glasgow. He sidestepped excommunication and died in 1643. Skaill and the encircling Breckness Estate passed into the ownership of his youngest son.

In close proximity to Breckness House is an Iron Age broch or tower house. However it is the 17th century house which Ola Gorie has based her unusual jewellery earrings on; an excellent instance of silver jewellery UK.
