The St Brigid's Cross is hung each February 1st to commemorate St Brigid's day, Ireland's female patron saint. The making of a St Brigid cross is a traditional ritual, hand woven from rushes or reeds the night before St. Brigid's Day.
The tradition holds that they were hung by the door to protect the house from fire and evil. A new cross is made every year and the old one burned to keep fire from the house. Thankfully house fires today are not as common as they once were, so it is not as common to see the cross by the door. Instead many have taken to wearing St Brigid Cross for protection.
Beautifully crafted from weighty sterling silver, this cross is double sided and is faithful to a the form of a traditional reed cross with a rough, handmade feel.

Fantastic experience! I ordered my jewelry and decided it wasn’t the size I wanted after all. The return and exchange was a smooth experience. Love my new piece!

This is my third pendant I have purchased from this company and every single time I have been super happy. Their customer service should be an example for all businesses. It never ceases to amaze me that delivery is in four days. Even the UPS driver was amazed. I wouldn't think of buying from anyone else.
