Personalized Heavy Silver Ogham IngotsMade in Ireland.This Sterling Silver ingot can be custom made with the Ogham inscription of your choice. Ogham writing is an ancient linear script and is the first known written language of Ireland. The Ogham alphabet consists of groups of lines from one to five, set across a vertical stem-line. Each group represents a different letter of the alphabet. There are several letters of this ancient alphabet not used. The letter K and P for example do not feature, therefore if your name was Katleeen , the letter C is used instead . Another example is Paul, the letter P does not feature and the letter X is used.
What is so interesting about this alphabet is that you read the inscription from bottom upwards, not top to bottom. There are fine examples of Ogham stones scattered around Ireland. They were initially used on stones to commemorate the passing of a loved one. This tradition is still used today, however many people just love the history attached and have their own name engraved with the optional addition of the famous Newgrange spiral on top. Newgrange is a world heritage burial site in Ireland that dates back centuries.
The Ingot we have displayed here has been engraved with the word 'HOME'. Engrave your own name or a loved one's name to make this piece of jewelry special and private.
The ingots are available in 2 weights, 15grams or 1oz (31grams) These ingots are superb quality, heavy and chunky, (especially the 1oz) and require quality chains. Select a heavy Belcher chain in 20" or 24" from our range of chains, or you can purchase the Ingots without chains.
The reverse side of the ingots show the Irish Assay Marks for Sterling Silver. These marks have been enlarged. You can view the reverse in the "Additional Images".
