Jewellery Inspired By The Landscape Of The Cuillin

Set in the heart of Skye against the backdrop of the jagged Cuillin mountains, Òr was established by jewellery designer Jen Carter Pearson in 2016, first and foremost, as a place for her own Isle of Skye jewellery. Ever since the opening of the first Portree shop - complete with a wee workshop out the back - Jen has continued to produce contemporary jewellery with a twist on Skye’s wild landscape.

The best way to experience Skye is hiking, and it’s out in the craggy mountains of Skye where Jen finds her inspiration: natural textures and forms metamorphose in her sketchbooks and, eventually, are hammered and etched into elegant metalwork designs. The result is beautiful, wearable pieces of modern Skye jewellery... 

Cuillin etched

An elegant bar necklace etched lightly with the outline of the Cuillin mountain range, this is one of the finest pieces in Jen’s Skye jewellery collection—a subtle and stylish way to carry Skye with you wherever you go.

Available in: gold, silver and rose gold

Sgùrr nan Gillean hammered 

This round pendant-style piece has been delicately hammered with an intricate conical mountain design depicting Sgùrr nan Gillean, the 966m peak that is one of the most famous—and beautiful—on Skye.

You really must look at the pendant up close to see the detail: the rendering of rocky ridges and ruts is gorgeous.

Available in: gold, silver, and rose gold 

Cuillin Horizon Necklace

A bolder, modern take on the Cuillin mountain piece, this circular open necklace is the largest of the three Skye jewellery pieces we’re featuring. Metal wire ghosts the undulations of the Cuillins, and is fused into a circular frame. This necklace feels like a completely fresh, contemporary type of Skye jewellery.

Available in: gold, silver and rose gold
