Sliogan in Irish translates as shell and Croi Sliogan is the shells heart-core.

County Sligo, where Martina lives and works, means the Shelly Place. Sligo was the beloved landscape of poet W B Yeats, who, as a forlorn young man on the grey pavements of London spoke of Sligo as being "the deep hearts core" in perhaps one of the most famous poems ever written, “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”. Sligo and the Hearts Core; these are the inspiration for our Croi Sliogan collection. The secret of this gently textured shell motif in hallmarked sterling silver is the heart’s core, the space it encircles.
