Faithful to the form of a traditional rush cross, with a textured feel, this striking and pleasingly weighty brooch has been carefully crafted in solid sterling silver and set with iconic Irish Connemara marble. The instantly recognisable cross is an ancient design that traces its roots back hundreds of years to Ireland’s female patron saint, and beyond to the Celts and the goddess Brigid.
Rush crosses like these are still hung in many Irish homes each February 1st for protection and to mark Brigid's day and the start of Celtic spring. Traditionally these crosses are woven from green rushes or reeds the night before and hung by the door to protect the home. Today, many wear the Brigid Cross year round as a symbol of strength and protection.
A uniquely Irish brooch, made with marble famous for it's varied green tones, a piece of Ireland sourced from the Wild Atlantic Way in Connemara. Steeped in Celtic folklore and Irish history this brooch is a perfect gift or a treasure to give you strength worn on the lapel of a coat, jacket, or with a chunky knit.
Hallmarked in historic Dublin Castle assuring the quality of the sterling silver, this lovely brooch will arrive packaged in a beautiful box perfect for gifting - a lovely keepsake to mark milestones.
