Irish heritage and faith come together in the design of this elegant, gold vermeil, Claddagh cross. It has been crafted of sterling silver and features a heavy coating of 14k yellow gold. This isn’t some cheaply made gold plate over a base metal. This is genuine sterling silver with real 14k gold! A stunning piece of stunning Irish craftsmanship.

The pendant is nicely sized, making it ideal for a wide range of people and body types. From children making their first communion, to adults who are looking to update their cross necklace, this could be the one. The four recognizable arms of the cross (three short and one long) feature trinity knots - a symbol of eternity and lasting love. In the Christian faith, the trinity was used to explain the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The center of the cross, the Halo portion of the Celtic design, features the Irish Claddagh - a symbol of Love (the heart), Loyalty (the crown) and Friendship (the hands). This pendant measures approx 1.25”H (inclusive of the ring bale) x 1/2”W and it comes on a 20” plated chain. Chain features a lobster claw clasp and a ring built into the chain to make it 18” if that is a better fit for the wearer.

Makes a lovely gift for someone you love!
