Description

Isle of South Uist Pendant

The Isle of South Uist Pendant is a masterful tribute to one of Scotland’s most enchanting islands—a piece that embodies both natural beauty and deep cultural heritage.

Handcrafted in sterling silver by Hebridean Jewellery, this pendant is engraved in Gaelic with the phrase “Uibhist a Deas,” a proud declaration of South Uist’s identity that resonates with the island’s storied past and enduring spirit.

Every detail of the pendant has been carefully considered.

The clean, graceful lines of its design evoke the rugged, yet serene landscape of South Uist.

To the west, the island’s crystal clear waters gently caress its silver beaches, creating scenes of tranquil beauty that invite introspection. To the east, the expansive heather uplands, majestically dominated by Beinn Mhor, stand as guardians of the island’s legacy.

This dramatic landscape is further enriched by miles of machair—a vibrant expanse of wind-blown grassland—where the rare Corncrake finds refuge, and where wildlife, including Golden Eagles, Red Grouse, and Red Deer, add life and movement to the mountainous backdrop.

The pendant’s dimensions, approximately 30 mm by 11 mm, and its weight of around 3.9 g, are testament to the delicate yet durable nature of its construction.

The beautifully balanced proportions make it an ideal accessory—both subtle enough for everyday wear and striking enough to serve as a conversation piece or a cherished token of heritage.

Moreover, the pendant is hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of authenticity and craftsmanship, a mark of quality deeply rooted in Scottish tradition.

Supplied in a stylish wooden presentation box, this pendant arrives ready to be gifted or displayed, adding an extra layer of elegance that enhances its appeal.

With its blend of traditional Gaelic language and modern design, the Isle of South Uist Pendant serves as a wearable narrative—a reminder of the island’s mesmerising landscapes, its resilient natural world, and the timeless spirit of its people.
