Three years ago, I bought a bracelet and a ring here that have brought me such pleasure that I wear them every day. This year, I got earrings. These pieces are crafted with such respect for Iona, incorporating designs that reflect its heritage and culture, and are beautifully rendered in the finest silver. I enjoy looking at my bracelet on hectic days and remembering the peace and tranquility of this little island, so steeped in antiquity and joy.
