Bean Rí
Sterling Silver Pendant Medium

Irish design award-winning handcrafted sterling silver pendant

Best Jewellery Design winner / Showcase Ireland and Design & Crafts Council of Ireland.

The Bean Ri (She King) Collection. Stunning, candle flame like; a celebration of elegance, and femininity, of passion and strength.

The National Museum of Ireland commissioned Martina to create this collection of jewellery to mark 1000 years since the Battle of Clontarf, a defining event in Irish history. The collection sets out to symbolise and celebrate the powerful yet mostly untold contribution of women to the history of Ireland, exemplified by mythological tales of the country’s warrior queens.

The Bean Rí shape was initially inspired by bronze-age spear heads found in the museum collection, which Martina reinterpreted with a simple quarter twist and texturing, transforming the ferocity of a weapon into something charged with feminine beauty, strength, and elegance.

The twist and texture of this pendant catches the light as if it were a candle flame.
