The Highland cow is one of Scotland's most iconic and enduring images, its distinctive long-horned, shaggy-coated form inseparable from the highland landscape it has inhabited for centuries. Bred to withstand the harsh conditions of Scotland's uplands and western isles, the Highland cow has occupied a central place in Scottish rural life and culture for generations. Its combination of rugged resilience and unhurried calm has made it one of the most recognisable symbols of Scottish identity, and its broad, characterful face and sweeping horns translate naturally into compact silverwork with immediate appeal and strong visual identity.
Each earring presents the Highland cow as a compact sculpted form, the breed's characteristic proportions clearly rendered at the scale. The broad, low-set head carries the distinctive sweeping horns extending outward on either side, their gentle curve well-defined. The coat is represented throughout in engraved, flowing lines that capture the shaggy, layered texture of the animal's distinctive long hair, the vertical fall of the fringe across the face and body clearly suggested. The body is solid and well-proportioned, standing squarely on four short defined legs. The silver carries a high mirror polish on the smoother surfaces, with the engraved coat detail providing contrast. Push back fitting.
Approximately 1.3g per pair. 925 sterling silver. Push back fitting.
