Evergreen "Holly" Leaf Pendant Necklace

Evergreen "Holly" - Silver pendant necklace made by Jess MacDonald Brass on the Isle of Arran.

Leaf-textured silver, created with depth and care. Organic, tactile, designed to be worn every day. Evergreen holds the imprint of a real leaf in precious metal, not as decoration, but as a trace of something living. Something your fingers feel before your mind even notices.

Cuileann in Gaelic, compact, fierce, and sacred to the Celts, holly ruled the dark half of the year. Glossy-leaved through the coldest months, it was a symbol of protection, continuity, and the quiet persistence of life.

There's a moment in nature that calls you back into yourself - the smell of rain on dry earth (petrichor), the grounding energy of a forest, the constancy of plants underfoot. This collection holds that feeling.

Made for those who value substance over shine, who want jewellery that's grounding not just decorative and a small reminder that we are part of the natural world. A physical touchstone to slow down, reconnect, and carry the calm of the outdoors with you.

Part of the Evergreen collection - Juniper, Holly, Scots Pine - three Scottish native plants, three sizes of pendants. The names are borrowed for scale, but each carries real weight in the landscape and Celtic tradition.
Juniper earrings and bracelet also available

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.
