Romantic Gifts From Ireland: Celtic Designs For Your Beloved
Written by Gemma Butler on Sep 08, 2023 | 0 Comments
We are big fans of love here at My Irish Jeweler. We've been privileged to play a small part in many couples' love stories through our beautifully crafted, authentic Irish and Celtic jewellery. And we may be biased, but we think Irish and Celtic designs are uniquely suited to making grand romantic statements. From the Claddagh to the Celtic Love knot, if you are looking for a gift that speaks louder than words, you are sure to find that perfect piece for your perfect match in the four iconic Irish styles below.
1. The Claddagh
A traditional Irish design with over 400 years of history, it is a globally recognized symbol of Ireland with deeply romantic meaning. The hands, heart, and crown of this design represent friendship, love, and loyalty; this makes it a romantic gift between partners, with sentiment perfect for a promise ring, an engagement ring, or a wedding ring. Of course, it also helps that it is a beautiful and versatile design that works equally well in its traditional form as a ring, but also as a necklace, bracelet, cufflinks, earrings, or even a tie clip.
A traditional Claddagh Ring
Perfect for any and all occasions or just because. A symbol exchanged by couples in Ireland for 400+ years.
A Claddagh Band
What better way to symbolise your wedding vows than with a band that promises love, loyalty and friendship?
Gemstone set Claddagh Rings
A popular choice for anniversaries and engagements, a Claddagh shines set with diamond, lab diamond, emerald, sapphire, or ruby.
More than a ring
Although the original design was for a ring, the Claddagh is versatile and makes for a romantic jewellery gift whether it's a necklace, earrings, bracelet, cufflinks, or tie clip.
2. Make It Personal With Ogham
If you want something as unique as your love story, well then our Ogham range is for you! Ogham is the ancient Irish alphabet which we incorporate in some designs or hand engrave on others: your own secret message for you and your loved one to share. A name or a word of significance can be inscribed on a bracelet, pendant, cufflinks, earrings, tie bar, money clip or ring. We include a card with the alphabet with each ogham picece so they can have fun uncovering the sentiment for a truly one-of-a-kind gift.

A popular choice for those looking for couples rings or wedding bands they can really make thier own.
3. The Celtic Love Knot
Also known as the Trinity Knot, the Irish or Celtic Love Knot , is a beautiful and ancient Celtic symbol with a history that stretches back thousands of years. With no beginning or end, it is recognised today as a symbol of eternal and enduring love and many view the three united ‘leaves’ of the Knot as representing Past, Present, and Future of a couples lives joined in love.
Celtic Love Knot Jewellery
Like the Claddagh, this iconic symbol works perfectly with any type of jewellery whether it is necklaces, earrings, bracelets, cufflinks, or tie bar.
Celtic Love Knot Rings
This symbol is a particularly popular choice for those looking for a ring with symbolism to match a momentous moment like a wedding, engagement, or anniversary.
4. Something For Your Soul Mate: Your Anam Cara
The Irish language has some truly poetic ways to tell your special someone that you love them. And although the short phrase "Mo Anam Cara" isn't perfect Irish, it is one of our faves as it builds on the idea of an Anam Cara, a "soul friend." The Celts believed that when two people formed an unbreakable bond, their very souls would mingle. Romantic right? Roughly translated, the phrase means “My Soul Mate” or “My Soul Friend." Engraved on a piece of our jewellery or incorporated into one of our designs, it is sure to sweep your Anam Cara off their feet.
