Made to order daisy wheel ring

Made to order.

Please allow up to 3 weeks for this made to order ring, this gives me the time to individually sand cast the daisy wheel and make the hammered band to your chosen size. All made from recycled sterling silver. The silver is oxidised to bring out the detail in the daisy wheel, each cast is completely unique. The size of the daisy wheel is 1.7cm across and the hammered band is 2mm thick.

Etched on the walls of many of the houses, barns and buildings that we care for are symbols known as witch marks or apotropaic marks. Witch marks are also referred to as ritual protection marks or apotropaic markings. The word apotropaic comes from the Greek word apotropaios which is translated as turning away (evil).

One of the most common types of witch marks found in buildings is the daisy wheel, also known as the hexafoil. As the name suggests, the symbol takes the form of a six petalled flower. The daisy wheel would have been drawn using a compass and as such looks very geometrical in design. Daisy wheels can vary in size and complexity from a single hexafoil to a group of interlinked hexafoils. It was thought that if demons saw a line they would follow it, becoming trapped. A piece of amazing medieval graffiti!
