A powerful symbol of faith in Ireland, this sterling silver Solvar Celtic Cross features Trinity knots on each arm, gold plated wedding bands in the centre, and an oxidised background- giving it a more masculine appearance than your typical cross pendant. Made from sterling silver hallmarked at Dublin Castle, it's the perfect gift for a loved one or, paired with the more petite version, a soon to be couple.
One legend tells how St Patrick saw a pagan standing stone imprinted with a circle, the symbol of the moon goddess. He is said to have blessed the stone, marking it with a Latin cross. Another tells of St. Patrick combining the circular symbol of the Sun God with the Latin cross to tie the two religions together and ease the transition into Christianity. Whatever the case, it gave us what we know of today as the iconic Celtic Cross.
