Wear a combination of two beloved traditions with this Irish cross necklace. This St. Brigid’s cross represents protection as well as strength and beauty from the unique Connemara marble. For centuries, it has been customary to fashion a St. Brigid’s cross out of straw and place it at the entrance of the home. This was done to protect their homes and loved ones from want and evil. This Irish cross necklace is crafted from sterling silver and measures approximately 7/8” wide and 1 ¼” tall. The cross comes on an 18” long sterling silver chain. No two pieces of Connemara marble are alike as it is a natural green stone! The marble necklace is crafted in Co. Dublin, Ireland by Solvar, a family-owned jewelry company in Dublin. Inspired by Irish culture and heritage, Solvar makes fine jewelry for the modern era. Each piece of jewelry from Solvar is stamped at the Assay Office in Dublin Castle to assure Irish quality! Wear this St. Brigid’s Cross as a symbol of protection, strength and beauty!
