Stunning double drop earrings. The design is taken from our priceless artefact called the Ardagh Chalice. A national treasure, found in 1868 and housed in our Dublin Museum for all to enjoy. The pattern on the Chalice forms the basis of shield decorations with an intricate and elaborate Celtic motif.
On closer examination you will notice both shields have a highly polished bead in the center. This is surrounded by a fine milligrain edge. The bead accentuates the magnificent ornate design in all its splendour. The pattern has a 'Matte or Florintine' finish that really stands out. These earrings are really splendid. The fittings are very secure, they hook around the earlobe and snap shut, plus they have the added advantage of making the earrings dangle correctly.
The small shield on each earring is 16mm W. The larger shield is 20mm W. The height is 40mm including the fittings.
Made in Ireland. They are presented in a beautiful gift box.
The ornate design on these magnificent earrings are inspired from one of Ireland's most treasured artifacts called the Ardagh Chalice. Found in 1868 in Lough Gur, Co Limerick. The Ardagh Chalice is heavily adorned with shield decorations with an elaborate filigree pattern.
Our skilled and talented craftsmen have reproduced this sumptuous pattern and called this design the Warrior Shield range. Beautifully made with stunning attention to detail.These double shield earrings dangle perfectly in the earlobe due the 'fishhook fitting which is easy to operate and very secure.

I received my earrings yesterday and found they're even more beautiful in person! I absolutely love them! My husband has purchased several pieces of jewelry for me from here and I have loved every piece; each one is made with superb craftsmanship. Thank you for continuing to create beautiful Celtic jewelry that connects the past and the present.

My wife LOVED these earrings! Extremely well done! That said, I almost didn’t buy them because of the pic on the website....where there was an odd looking white spot top of each bead. I sent you all a question about it and got prompt reply that it was reflection. Perhaps a $25 light box to diffuse the light for the camera would make them more appealing to the casual browser who might not want to spend the time to send an inquiry.

Yes, my new earrings are perfect and your service is excellent. I think I received my jewelry before the named date. Peter, you have a great store and I do like shopping there because I have never been disappointed. Everything has been as promised. I hope to continue for a long time. Thank You

My earrings are stunning! I can't believe they got here so quickly from Ireland. I recently returned from a trip to Ireland and wanted a momento of my wonderful vacation, and these are perfect!
