This beautiful Solvar necklace is crafted in sterling silver and features two classic Irish symbols- the Claddagh and the Trinity. Entwined as they are, they stand as symbols of never ending love and devotion, making it the perfect piece of Irish jewelry for a cherished loved one.
The Claddagh is one of the most popular symbols in Irish jewelry. Legend has it that in the 17th century, a Galway native was captured by pirates and sold into slavery. During his time as a slave he was sold to a wealthy goldsmith, who taught him the craft. When he was released years later and returned to Claddagh, Galway, he found his love still waiting for him. It was for her he created the Claddagh ring- the heart symbolising love, the hands friendship, and the crown loyalty.
With no beginning and no end, the Trinity tells the tale of never ending love and eternal life. A convergence of mind, body, and spirit; the connection between earth, air, and sea; the relation of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though it has had a myriad of meanings through the centuries, the Trinity knot remains one of Ireland's most timeless and ancient symbols.
