Acara jewellery is designed drawing inspiration from Ireland’s rich past. The unique icons include the Claddagh, the Celtic Cross, the Shamrock and intricate Celtic Knot Work. Each piece is hallmarked by the Assay office at Dublin Castle.
St. Brigid's Cross is a cross woven from rushes, with 4 arms tied at the end and meeting in a woven patterned square in the centre. Traditionally they were displayed over the door of a house to ward off evil. The tradition marks the beginning of spring, St Brigid's Day being the 1st February. St Brigid is one of Ireland's patron saints.
