A beautiful piece of Irish heritage, this Connemara Marble Cross Pendant from Solvar would make a great gift for anyone who wants to take a little piece of Ireland with them from time to time. The stone insets are hewn from real Connemara marble from the west of Ireland, making each individual piece utterly unique due to the natural striations in the marble itself. The Celtic cross itself is made from a highly-durable base metal with a polished silver finish and braided detailing in the trademark circle that defines the Celtic cross form itself.
The circle around Celtic crosses is drawn from pre-Christian imagery, where it signified the eternal cycle of life present everywhere. Adapted to the Christian cross, it signifies the eternal nature of God’s presence and love. Celtic crosses have been found dating back to the earliest efforts to convert the pre-Christian Irish in the 5th century and Irish High Crosses reached their heyday in the 9th to 12th centuries, many of which still stand to this day, with some reaching over two meters in height.
One of the finest jewelry manufacturers in Ireland, Solvar has been family-owned and operated since 1941. Solvar is committed to crafting the best jewelry with an emphasis on bringing Irish culture and heritage into rich relief in their pieces. Headquartered in Dublin, Solvar hallmarks all of their jewelry at the Dublin Assay Office in Dublin Castle to verify quality and authenticity.
