Lulu’s Top 5 Celtic Jewelry Gifts
1. Marcasite & Connemara Marble Celtic Cross
So I’ve started with our number one 5 star rated customer favorite and it’s easy to see why!
The legend goes that St Patrick saw a pagan standing stone engraved with a circle. The circle was a representation of the moon goddess. St. Patrick then marked the stone with a cross to create the Celtic cross as we know it today.
This stunning pendant is a beautiful recreation of this iconic emblem of Ireland.The arms are carved from 900 million year old Connemara Marble, and are linked by 4 delicate Trinity knots. Beautifully finished with a single marcasite stone at the center.
Handcrafted in Ireland from sterling silver and hallmarked at Dublin Castle. An unmistakably Irish gift that is sure to be treasured for a lifetime.

A truly stunning gift for her and yet another customer favourite.
The gorgeous combination of graceful freshwater pearls and sterling silver make this Irish pendant and earrings set a real winner. Classically elegant and beautifully crafted.
The Trinity knot dates back to pagan times. It is said to represent many things that are threefold, including the Holy Trinity. The Trinity knot continues to inspire Irish jewelry design while remaining an enduring Celtic symbol of eternity.

It is a stunning example of early Celtic art. This recreation features accents of genuine Connemara Marble while the craftsmanship is second to none.
5. Silver Connemara Marble Claddagh Ring
So many of you would say that I’ve saved the best to last because I’m going to end with the much-loved Claddagh ring and here is our top selling 5-star favourite!
The enchanting tale of the Claddagh ring began in the tiny fishing village of the same name in County Galway over 300 years ago when an Irish goldsmith fashioned a ring for his sweetheart while in captivity. The age old message of the heart for love, the hands of friendship and the crown of loyalty is still as potent today and remains an iconic symbol of Ireland.
This stunning ladies Claddagh ring features Ireland’s ancient gemstone, Connemara Marble. 900 million years in the making, no two pieces are the same and the eye-catching green marble stone forms the centerpiece of this beautiful ring.
