This Irish Dancing Shoes Pendant is the perfect gift for someone who loves Irish dancing! This stunning pendant has exquisite detail on the shoes, enhanced with gorgeous Celtic knot work laces. This pendant is available in sterling silver and also 10K and 14K yellow and white gold.
From the 18th century flamboyantly dressed Irish dance masters roamed the countryside teaching dance to students within their own territory.
Irish dance costumes today pay tribute to the dance outfits of old, embroidered peasant dresses with various decorative symbols, the cape held at the shoulder with a Tara brooch.
Shoes are the most important element of Irish dance; soft shoes are flat leather lace pumps and are used for reels and slip jigs and are also known as ghillies. Hard shoes have hardened toes and heels to add percussion noises and rhythms to hornpipes etc.
These tiny ‘ghillies’ will delight any Irish dance fan, detailed and beautifully made they have wonderful detail and are sure to become a treasured keepsake. In sterling silver they come with chain.
This pendant is the perfect gift for a good friend or loved one.
