This beautiful sterling silver Solvar Celtic Cross features the iconic Claddagh at the centre. Symbolising love, loyalty, and friendship with its heart, crown, and hands, the Claddagh is a traditional Irish symbol, originating in the fishing village of Claddagh, Galway. Complete with lovely green crystal set in the heart of love and sparkling clear crystal in the arch between the hands of friendship, this necklace makes for the perfect gift for yourself or a cherished loved one.
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.
