Labyrinth Pendant Necklace

A simple labyrinth pendant hangs from a hand wrapped chain of Czech glass beads.

• The weighty, double-sided pendant depicts the Chartres cathedral maze in beautiful detail
• Chain of Czech glass beads are an earthly amber with a fiery, nacreous blue finish
• This necklace is  18"/46cm long and closes with a sterling plated pewter toggle clasp
• This pendant necklace celebrates the spiral journey: a beautiful reminder that there are no wrong turns in life, and though the path may twist and double back, we walk it in love and trust

The Chartres labyrinth dates from the 13th century and is the best preserved example of a medieval labyrinth, but it is no doubt an echo of an earlier pagan symbol. Many years ago I had the luck of being in Chartres when the labyrinth was open to pilgrims. Walking it like so many had for hundreds of years before me (some on their knees!) I was filled with wonder. I hope a tiny fraction of that is captured in this necklace.

All pieces are made by hand or sourced with care from our home studio in Kirkwall, Orkney. Ally's designs are inspired by the wild, ancient Orkney landscape with its unique blend of Scottish and Norse culture and history.
