If Orkney ever needed a new name, Birdland would be very appropriate. We have no fewer than 12 RSPB reserves here, and of course the birds know no boundaries: they don’t stick to their reserves but crisscross our skies continually. This really is the land of birds.

This has classic lines

I was drawn to the simplicity of this necklace. It did make me feel I was seeing birds fly over the Northern Sky. It was even more beautiful in reality. It made me think Japan with a trace of Charles Rennie Macintosh.
It will remain in its box when not being worn, hopefully to prevent what the previous reviewer has said. May I say that Ola Gorie have always assisted me with problems with my jewellery. So if you have some damage speak Tom them

Product Review

I have this beautiful pendant in the mixed metal version (silver and gold) and love the contrast of the gold against the silver and mother of pearl.

Product Review

This is such a lovely necklace. Really unusual with the mix of metals and material. Just slightly disappointed that the necklace itself is easily bent due to the design, but don't let that put you off, it really is superb value!

The reserve closest to Ola Gorie’s heart is the one in the heart of Neolithic Orkney at Brodgar. Ola lived at Brodgar for many years, and would often step out her back door to take the circular walk through the bird reserve: along the shore of Stenness Loch, past the magnificent Ring of Brodgar stone circle, then back home via the grassy path bordering the road.

Whether it’s a still, icy winter morning, when ducks and swans throng the loch, or a summer’s day with temperatures rising, flowers peeking out of the verges, and curlews, lapwings and oystercatchers filling the air with their calls, Brodgar is always a lovely walk. Down by the lochside, herons can be seen stalking for fish (the loch is full of trout).

In spring, the start of warmer days is signaled by the skylarks that start unfurling their glorious ribbons of song high above the standing stones. By contrast, autumn brings skeins of migrating geese overhead with their calls like the creaking of rusty hinges.

Over the years, Ola has drawn inspiration from specific bird species in her designs. Puffin and Robin are two of our most popular wildlife collections, for instance. But the Birdland collection is different. It doesn’t celebrate any particular bird, but rather Orkney generally: the land of birds.

In her designs, the graceful birds in flight are set against the reeds of a lochside, or beautiful mother-of-pearl clouds. Some fly free in a clear Orkney sky…welcome to Birdland!

Welcome to Birdland
