This Danu Sheela-Na-Gig Amulet by Shakti Ellenwood reinterprets an enigmatic medieval female figure through hand-layered 18ct Fairmined gold. Inspired partly by a stone carving made by the designer’s late brother-in-law, Danu carries an unusually personal story alongside the centuries-old mystery of Sheela-na-gig carvings found across Ireland, Britain, and Europe. Interpretations of these figures have ranged from protection and fertility to prosperity, healing, and warnings against lust, while Shakti Ellenwood presents Danu as a goddess of feminine power, wisdom, and generative energy. Entirely handmade rather than cast, the amulet retains a raw, archaeological quality that makes its symbolism and craftsmanship inseparable.
Shakti Ellenwood is a renowned designer of ethical jewellery, whose handcrafted creations offer a unique blend of beauty and integrity. Her earthy, organic designs fuse an ancient feel with a contemporary aesthetic, incorporating diverse influences including the sacred symbolism of amulets and talismans, the sentimentality of the Victorian era, folklore and ancient civilisations, as well as her own travels across the globe. Inspired by rituals from Egypt, India and the Amazon, Shakti crafts every design using sung mantras and icaros to imbue blessing and protection for its wearer – a prayer captured in gold.
Handcrafted in London from layered sheets of 18ct Fairmined gold sourced from Colombia; approximately 30 mm long x 23 mm wide at the widest point; pendant only.
