Our story
We are a small family business consisting of husband and wife team Rab and Tanya Gordon, located in the hills above Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Here we design and create custom made rings as well as unique jewellery, kilt pins and Sgian Dubhs (trading as Rainnea Ltd).
Our complimentary skills as outlined below allows us to offer a unique design and creation service.

Tanya has a long standing interest in Celtic and Pictish art, which she draws upon to inspire many of our designs. After graduating in Gaelic Studies MA(Hons) at the University of Aberdeen she started Rainnea Graphics in 1996, initially focusing mainly on her hand drawn Celtic designs.
Rab is a highly innovative designer and craftsman, developing specialist techniques, equipment and software for jewellery making. This has led to Rab being consulted in this area and being invited to deliver a workshop and discussions on ‘Creative Machining’ at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
We occasionally work with other jewellery professionals who we feel compliment or extend our skills and services to ensure that we can take your ideas from design through to the best possible finished ring.

Long ago we discovered that we enjoy working directly with our customers, creating a limited number of high-quality bespoke pieces rather than mass producing items to be sold through retail outlets. Although this means we have a waiting list and are unable to accept many requests for special orders at short notice, please feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements.
