Soul Friend (Anam Cara) Pewter Pendant Set
Friend and friend, husband and wife, mother and daughter.....always be one with your Anam Cara.
Sold as a set of two pendants, each is marked with 'Anam' on one side and 'Cara' on the other. Made of fine, handcrafted pewter, each piece is 1 1/3" long and 1/3" wide. Two knotted 28" leather strings and two split key rings included. Packaged in gold organza bag with descriptive tag and insert.
Our pewter pendants are sculpted to resemble the blemishes and imperfections of stone. The natural process that forms a patina on pewter will occur over time, giving the pendant the intended look of an ancient, weathered Ogham stone. If you prefer to maintain a sheen to your Ogham pewter pendant, please use one of the many simple techniques to polish pewter jewelry such as massaging baking soda onto the moistened pendant and rinsing with warm water.

Ogham is the earliest written form of Primitive Irish, the oldest of the Gaelic languages. Ogham was first used in Ireland and parts of England, Scotland and Wales between the 2nd and 6th centuries. Though its actual origins remain a mystery today, it is believed the Celts desired a cryptic alphabet that could not be deciphered by Roman Britain.
Represented as a series of perpendicular and intersecting lines, this ancient script is thought to be influenced by the Latin alphabet using 20 characters. It is most commonly written vertically and is read from bottom to top. When presented horizontally, it is read from left to right.
