The 'Dawn Bearer' necklace in gold plated,bmade on the Isle of Arran by Jess MacDonald Brass

The Alectrona Talisman

Inspired by Alectrona, an ancient Greek goddess associated with the sun and morning light, Dawn Bearer is a talisman of hope, renewal and new beginnings.

There is something extraordinary about the first light of day. As the sun rises, warmth returns to the land, birds begin their morning chorus and the natural world stirs into life. Sunlight sustains the plants that feed us, influences the rhythms of the seasons and provides the energy upon which so much life on Earth depends.

To the ancient Greeks, the sun was more than a source of warmth and light. It belonged to a world of divine powers, with Alectrona among the goddesses associated with its radiance.

Dawn Bearer celebrates the promise of a new day. A symbol of hope when life feels uncertain, of finding the courage to begin again, or simply recognising how much possibility a fresh start can bring. Whether chosen to mark a new chapter or given to someone embarking on one, it offers a reminder that even after the longest night, the sun will rise again.

This pendant takes the form of a radiant sun, with flame-like rays reaching outward from its centre. Its design captures the energy and warmth of the first morning light, a symbol of vitality, renewal and the promise of what lies ahead.

 My jewellery is individually hand-crafted or made in small batch production which is hand-finished - this is reflected in the final finish of each piece. This means that it will not be the same as machine made or mass-produced jewellery. Instead, it gives each of my designs a special artisanal touch.
