As with all our Goddess Rings, Maeve uses the story of each Celtic Goddess as inspiration in her design. Here’s the story behind SULIS and the water theme / reflective / water droplet elements that are so beautifully incorporated…

Sulis-Minerva was a local goddess of the Roman baths at Bath, England. She was the hybrid of the Roman goddess of healing, wisdom, and bearer of life Minerva, and the Celtic goddess Sul – which is translated as ‘sun’, or ‘opening.’ It was believed she was the interface between our world and the gods – from which hot, cleansing and healing water emerged. In addition, Bath is one of Britain’s largest votive sites, where 12,000 Roman coins were found in the baths, offered to the goddess for good fortune.

Maeve Gillies, Creative Director and Founder of Maevona, talks about the company’s history, designs and inspiration as part of the Engagement Ring Designer Series. An in-depth, and personal tour with Maeve, as she delivers a bit about her Scottish heritage, and inspirations!
