These handcrafted jewellery
designs are inspired byWorm's Head Rhossili,
Gower. Rhossili Downs is the highest point

Bay, on a clear day, in the distance the hills
of Pembrokeshire and the black mountains are
visible. Along the grassy hilltop path lie
ancient sandstone rocks and stones. In the
bay below the occasional flash of silver scales
is seen as the sea bass feed in the tumbling
surf.

Worm's Head, Rhossili, Gower
A translation of Rhossili
into english suggests the local name of a stream flowing
into the sands from Rhossili hill. Alternatively it could
derive from the name Fili, a celtic saint of saint Cenydd's
cottage.
Rhossili is rich with
history, megalithic tombs and tales of smuggles. At the
church of St. Mary the virgin stands the memorial to Edgar
Evans who died with Scott in the Antarctic. The wind sept
cottages of the village of Rhossili are scattered 200m
feet above the dramatic cliff tops.
The vessel called the
"Dollar ship" was wrecked in the bay in 1807
remembered famously for it's cargo of silver coins, some
of which were uncovered by the tide and found by villagers.
The coins were identified as Peruvian dolars of Phillip
4th, thought to be part of the dowry of a Princess Catherine
of Braganza. Many ships sank at Rhossilli and at the other
end of the bay at Broughton. In 1887 a vessel named the
Helvetia, leaves it's skelenton today which is lodged
and still exposed at the sands of Rhossili bay.
