Ian Stewart-Hargreaves - Silversmith Taigh nan Creaganan, ("The House of the Little Rocks"), Creaganan Gorm, Carloway HS2 9AG Tel: 01851 643356 e-mail: ian@creaganan.com website: www.creaganan.com For beautifully crafted jewellery in sterling silver make your way to Creagagan Gorm on the beautiful island of Lewis in the Western Isles. Here you will find the workshop and showroom of Ian Stewart-Hargreaves, who uses traditional methods (though he will admit to having an electric drill and a gas burner) when crafting his exquisite pieces. His specialities are traditional penannular brooches and kilt pins. Though these would have originally been made from polished bone, horn or antler, Ian considers silver to be far more aesthetically pleasing and practical for today's circumstances. He also hand crafts necklaces, earrings, wrist guards, hair slides and a host of other objects, using original Celtic, Roman and Scandinavian jewellery as the inspiration for his designs. Everything Ian produces has an official Edinburgh assay mark, which is a castle, and a British assay mark, which is a lion rampant. The date of each piece is represented by a letter, which makes it an ideal gift to commemorate a special event. Ian can even engrave a name or date if required and he accepts commissions. Each item comes in a presentation box with a leaflet explaining the ancient assay marks of Scotland and Britain.
