The founder of the brand was Ola Tait, a Scotswoman. After graduating from art school, she got a job in a jewelry workshop in Aberdeen and gave drawing lessons in her spare time to earn money for tools. A few years later, Tait moved with her husband to Canada, but in 1969 she returned to Scotland, where they opened a jewelry store and jewelry manufacturing business.

The brand’s designs are based on Celtic and Scandinavian heritage. The Scottish-style jewelry quickly found fans locally, but also became famous throughout the UK. Tait created special collections for the 100th anniversary of Liberty, the British Museum, and the House of Commons. She also carried out individual orders for the Queen’s mother.
