The Bann Disc Sterling silver brooch, ancient Irish jewellery, Celtic Design

This beautiful sterling silver brooch is inspired by an ancient Celtic symbol found on the Bann Disc, it measures 42mm in diameter and weighs approximately 9.9gms. It comes beautifully packaged in eco-friendly packaging with Robert Spotten and a small leaflet on Robert Spotten artistic journey. Considered one of the most outstanding pieces of metalwork surviving from the Irish Iron Age, The Bann Disc was found by chance by men drudging the river Bann in 1939.

The original bronze piece is a small, slightly convex bronze disc that measures just 10.6 cm across. Notice the triple spiral design which is very common in Irish designs and has been found in other documents such as the Book of Kells and other cultural objects from Greece. Some think that this triple spiral is a symbol of fertility as each spiral represents three months.

Robert Spotten was commissioned to make the same design in a larger format in white gold as a gift for the late HRM Queen Elizabeth II. Please contact us if you wish to have the design made in gold.

As a company, we are working towards net zero. Our workshop is powered by solar energy and we use recycled metal.
