Newgrange Collection
This range has been inspired by the spiral images found by the Celts at Newgrange, a megalithic passage tomb which dates from circa 3200 BC. The Celts believed a Triscele of Spirals was a symbol for fertility, or rebirth as each journey of the Sun would take three months.

Megalithic mounds such as Newgrange entered Irish mythology as sidhe or fairy mounds. Newgrange is said to be the home of Oenghus, the God of love.
Although not the oldest passage tomb in Ireland, Newgrange is without doubt Ireland's best known prehistoric monument.
Dated to around 3200 BC, Newgrange is 1,000 older than Stonehenge and centuries older than the great pyramids of Egypt.
The earliest passage tombs in Ireland are on the West coast in County Sligo and their construction and design developed as they spread across to the East coast culminating in the great complex at the Boyne Valley. The Tombs of this complex include the great monuments at Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth. The Boyne Valley complex was designated a World Heritage site in 1993 by UNESCO.
