A beautiful sterling silver necklace, inspired by an old Irish story of enduring love, family, and fidelity. The four intricate and beautifully detailed swans are the focus of this design with gold-plated trinity knots capturing the warm and enduring love of family. Framed in polished sterling silver, this necklace captures the magic of this bittersweet tale that mixes Ireland's ancient Celtic pagan roots together with a Christian message of fidelity, love, and faith.
As one of our island's most famous legends, everyone has their own version of the tale. The story goes that King Lir had four beautiful and beloved children with his much-loved wife Aobh; the eldest boy Aodh, a daughter Fionnghuala, and twin boys, Fiachra and Conn.
After Aobh tragically died, Lir married Aoife to give a mother to his children. But Aoife was jealous of Lir's love for his children, and she cursed them, turning them into swans for 900 years! Ever the steadfast father, Lir stayed with his swan children until he grew old and died, leaving his swan children to endure wind and rain together on the lakes of Ireland.
After nine hundred years, Aoife's spell was finally broken. The four siblings changed back into their human form, although much aged, and were baptized before reuniting with their beloved parents in heaven.
This beautiful legend makes this necklace a heartfelt gift for a loved one or fan of Irish folklore. Crafted in Dublin and hallmarked in the Assay Office at Dublin Castle, the necklace comes in luxury packaging perfect for gifting.
Measured including the bale. the necklace includes an 18-inch sterling silver cable chain. If you prefer something longer or chunkier, choose from our handpicked selection of sterling silver chains that pair perfectly with this necklace.
