Celtic Claddagh Diamond Set Cross
This unique cross embodies the iconic Claddagh emblem in the centre and is set with diamonds. Cast in sterling silver, with gold plated hands and crown, this cross is perfect for everyday wear.
In Ireland, the High Cross is the most impressive of all Irish monuments. The origins of the cross can be traced to Roman times, where free standing monuments were commonly used to commemorate battle victories. The magnificently carved High Cross, whilst thought to have a protective influence, also served as an assembly point for monastic religious ceremonies. The earliest known High Cross was the Carandonagh Cross, dating from the mid 7th Century, which was part of a hermitage in North-West Donegal. However, the most magnificent of all Irish crosses are the early 10th Century Scripture Crosses. They were created at the stone carving workshop situated in the monastic settlement of Clonmacnois, Co Offaly. The panels of these crosses contain highly detailed carvings of biblical scenes.
Hallmarked in the Assay Office in Dublin Castle.
