Irish Jewelry. Claddagh Necklace

Irish Jewelry. Claddagh Necklace.

Irish jewelry gets its roots from celtic jewelry. The Celts covered much of western Europe at one time with a high concentration in England, Ireland, Scotland etc. As the Celts evolved they evolved into nationalities thus the unique celtic art and design evolved into irish jewelry which is rich with symbolism like Celtic jewelry.

The Irish claddagh symbol is sown in charms, pendants, rings and necklaces because it is so popular and deep in rich symbolism.

The Claddagh symbol consists of a Crown, Hands and Heart.

The Heart means love, the Crown represents loyalty and the Hands mean friendship. There's a little saying or quote about the Claddagh: In my hands I hold your heart crowning it with all my love.
Enjoy Irish jewelry, celebrate your Irish Heritage or appreciation for all things Irish with Irish Jewelry.
Additional Irish jewelry include three leaf and four leaf clovers or shamrocks. They look great on necklaces.
