History of Ireland Rings
These beautiful rings tell the history of Ireland through a series of carefully rendered symbols. We also sell History of Ireland jewelry, including pendants, bracelets and earrings - all made exclusively by the original designer, Michael David Hilliar. Each piece bears his initials, MDH.
Move your mouse over the symbols below to read the meaning of the History of Ireland panels.
The symbols are inspired by the panels of the Celtic high cross. Each period of Irish history is represented by a separate icon, from Saint Patrick and the Round Tower symbolizing early Christianity, to Viking Warriors, Norman Soldiers, King William and the Union Jack. The terrible potato famine is represented by a skeletal icon and the Emigrant Ship. Ireland's independence is marked by the G.P.O. and the Partition of the island.
A note from the designer, Michael Hilliar
History of Ireland rings purchased on this site are exclusively made for you by the original designer Michael David Hilliar. The rings are hand-made by Michael and much heavier than factory-made models found on other sites. A genuine Michael Hilliar original is stamped with his personal initials.
