Gaelic

Gaelic, or “Irish” as it is known in Ireland, is an ancient Celtic language. Despite famine, emigration and even outright banning for a time, it continues to be spoken in Ireland today.

Mo Anam Cara

The ancient Celts believed in a soul that radiated about the body. They believed that when two individuals formed a deep and lasting bond that their souls would mingle. Therefore, each person could be said to have found their “anam cara”, or “soul friend”. “Mo Anam Cara” translates as “My Soul Mate” or “My Soul Friend”

Grá Go Deo

Eternity is an important theme in Celtic mythology, represented by the unending Celtic Knot. Translated as “Love Forever” or “Forever Love”, Grá Go Deo is a romantic phrase to adorn any piece of jewellery.

Grá, Dílseacht, Cairdeas

Translated as “Love, Loyalty, Friendship”, these three virtues are celebrated in the heart, crown and hands of Ireland’s famous Claddagh Ring.

Grá Geal Mo Chroí

Translated as “Shining (or bright) Love of My Heart”, this Irish phrase has a lovely lightness to it. One can almost imagine the lover’s heart glowing in sympathy with their partner.
