Celtic Warrior Necklace: Symbolic Irish Strength

Know a strong Irish woman who fights her own battles? She'll love this symbolic Irish necklace fashioned after a Celtic Warrior Shield inspired by one of Ireland's timeless treasures, the Ardagh Chalice. Found in 1868 buried in Co Limerick and believed to have been hidden there in the 8th or 9th centuries when churches and monasteries may have been invaded by Vikings. The beautiful chalice, now in the National Museum of Ireland, is adorned with circular silver and gold decorations resembling Celtic shields. The stunning, Irish pendant features raised Celtic knotwork symbolizing never-ending love as the detailing has no beginning nor ending.

Sterling silver necklace with an 18K yellow gold bead at the center placed on an 18" silver box chain. Pendant measures approximately 3/4" in diameter. A wonderful Irish gift filled with the Celtic meaning of strength and enduring love! Our maker-partner from Co. Dublin has been crafting Irish-themed jewelry since 1941 and strives to replicate a piece of history in beautiful jewelry. 

This Celtic Warrior necklace has been hallmark stamped at the Assay Office in Dublin, Ireland, assuring its quality. The small hallmark stamp often requires a magnifying glass to locate and features a .925 stamp designating genuine sterling silver, our maker-partner logo, the Assay Office logo, and a traditional fineness mark.

With quality jewelry, make sure each piece is stored separately. Store in a dry, clean place in a divided jewelry box or individual boxes. It is good to bring in your fine jewelry to a professional jeweler for cleaning once a year. Jewelry can be cleaned by hand using a liquid jewelry cleaner, found in jewelry stores, or gentle soap and water. Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, as that will harm and dull most fine materials. Remove jewelry before showering.
