A Piece of Beauty!!
This elegant Claddagh pendant is a true classic piece, traditional in style,
The hands representing friendship, with the arms detailed with fine celtic knot work.
The crown representing loyalty, with delicate stipple detail.
The heart representing love, a beautifully cut Connemara Marble puffed heart.
The arms twist at the top to form the bail adding to the flow of the piece.
The claddagh hangs on a 18" cord.
Unique to western Ireland, Connemara marble has existed for millions of years. Rare and resilient, it perfectly captures the landscape's ""forty shades of green"". Gradient in color from light to dark, Connemara marble can be found in some of the world's greatest attractions, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and Kensington Palace.
For three generations, the Walsh family in Dublin has crafted and finished fine Connemara marble treasures in their workshop. They have a quarry in Lissoughter, which opened in the 19th century. In 1903, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra paid a visit during the Royal Tour of Connemara.
