This is a beautiful Two-Tone St Brigid Cross set with a diamond in the centre. A lovely dainty piece of jewellery that would suit the petite lady. This cross has wonderful history attached to it and is a favourite piece of jewellery worn by many Irish people to this day.
St Brigid is the female patron saint of Ireland. St Brigid is also known as Muire Na Ngael, which means our lady of the Irish. Her day is celebrated the beginning of Spring on the 1st February.The distinctive shape came from making the cross out of straw, rushes,and reeds that were interwoven. This rush cross became St Brigid's emblem and has been replicated and used in designs throughout history. They were hung by the door and thought to protect the house from fire and evil. Every year a new cross is made and the old one burned to keep fire from the house. In modern times the cross is worn to protect the wearer from harm.
Approx 1" inc the bail. Available in 9k and 14k Two-Tone Gold.

Beautiful necklace for Valentine's Day, my wife was very happy for it. You are my Irish Jeweler! Thank you very much!

This exceeded my expectations! I live in the US and was concerned about ordering online, especially something at this price. But the company was fantastic and the cross was beautiful. I will replace the chain with a stronger one as this one is weak but I knew that ordering. It also comes with a nice quality pamphlet on the meaning of the cross which was great, as I am giving it as a gift. The overall quality of the box and everything is very good and I'm thrilled with it!

The necklace and St Brigid's cross are stunningly beautiful. I had intended to purchase this item while in Ireland this past fall, but circumstance kept me from getting to a jeweler before my return to the U.S. I was pleased to find your service and beautiful work online upon my return. While I could have likely found something to my liking here in the U.S., you've made my purchase -- Christmas gift for my mother -- much more authentic. Thank you!
