Three Jewelry Choices that are all about Embracing Irish Culture

Celtic knots, the Claddagh, Ogham the ancient Irish language, the Tree of Life, coats of arms...

There are so many ways to embrace Irish culture when it comes to jewelry and the best of Irish craftsmanship.

If you have Irish heritage, want to celebrate all things Irish through a gift to a loved one or just love Irish design, there is so much choice when it comes to incorporating the culture of Ireland into a special piece of jewelry that can be worn every day or kept as an occasion piece.

Here are three fantastic jewelry choices that showcase the best of Ireland...

The Claddagh with its message of love, friendship and loyalty is often the first choice of jewelry for people when it comes to an Irish connection. A Claddagh ring is often given as a child's first ring but there are also other gorgeous options for the Claddagh such as earrings, a pendant or with a precious birthstone embedded into it.

From Saint Patrick to round towers to Vikings. From the Battle of the Boyne to the Irish flag and the GPO, each person will have a different visual symbol that reminds them of Ireland.

Whether a ring, ingot or bracelet, this collection includes twelve evocative Irish symbols engraved into the design and tells the story of Ireland in a beautifully crafted way. Each piece in the collection is presented in a box accompanied by a beautiful booklet describing the meaning behind each symbol.

A coat of arms isn't just for the landed gentry. Every family has one and it can be engraved in to a piece of jewelry which gives a subtle nod to your Irish heritage. Each piece of jewelry can be completely  personalised. The coat of arms isn't just a thing of the past - it's a symbol that's as strong and powerful today as it was many centuries ago. The heraldry ring comes in a range of sizes and silver, gold, white gold or yellow gold in men's and ladies. 

If you'd like something totally different, a set of cufflinks or a tie tac is great, especially as a present and the coat of arms looks really well set into the design.

From strength, family, love and the cycle of life, Irish jewelry carries symbolic meaning no matter how you wear it.
