The Bean Rí Collection by Martina Hamilton Jewellery is a striking tribute to the powerful yet often untold role of women in Irish history. Created in collaboration with the National Museum of Ireland to mark the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf, this collection symbolises the fierce elegance and strength of Ireland’s warrior queens, celebrated in both myth and history. The design of the Bean Rí, meaning "Woman King" in Irish, draws inspiration from Bronze Age spearheads in the museum’s collection, reimagined with a graceful quarter twist and textured surface. The result is a collection of jewellery that transforms the primal force of ancient weaponry into a delicate and radiant celebration of femininity. The pendant’s twist and texture capture the light, evoking the flicker of a candle flame, making each piece a stunning reflection of passion, resilience, and timeless beauty.
