Seal on the rock

Celebrate Scotland’s rugged beauty and its connection to nature with the Seal on the Rock, a truly unique and evocative handcrafted piece from the Outer Hebrides.

This creation beautifully encapsulates the serene and striking landscapes of the region, offering a perfect fusion of artistry and natural elements.

Featuring a solid silver seal delicately poised on a natural Lewisian Gneiss stone, the piece is not only a work of art but also a tangible expression of the wilderness and wildlife that define the Outer Hebrides.

The silver seal, weighing approximately 1 oz and measuring around 57mm in length, is a meticulously crafted representation of one of the most iconic inhabitants of the Hebridean coast. Seals are a familiar and cherished sight in these waters, and the Monach Islands, located just five miles west of Uist, are home to Europe’s largest seal colony.

This connection to nature is at the heart of the piece, making it a meaningful celebration of the area’s ecology.

What truly sets Seal on the Rock apart is its use of natural Lewisian Gneiss stone as a base.

This ancient rock, among the oldest on Earth, tells a story of time, resilience, and the unique geology of the Outer Hebrides.

The size, shape, and colour of each stone vary, ensuring that every piece is one of a kind, imbued with the character and rugged beauty of the Hebridean landscape.

The juxtaposition of the sleek, polished silver against the textured, raw gneiss stone creates a visual and tactile contrast that is striking and harmonious.

Supplied in a presentation box, “Seal on the Rock” is an ideal keepsake for nature lovers, art enthusiasts, or anyone with a deep connection to the Hebrides. It’s not only a reminder of Scotland’s stunning coastal heritage but also a piece that carries the spirit of the wild and untamed landscapes of the Outer Hebrides into homes around the world.
