St Brigid Cross Sterling Silver Two Sided 18" Standard Chain Made in Ireland

You'll go about your day in confidence with this St. Brigid's Celtic Cross! For centuries, it has been customary to fashion a St. Brigid's cross out of straw and place it at the entrance of the home on Brigid's holiday, February 1st. The idea is that the cross would protect the occupants of the home; today, children still weave the crosses in school, and they're hung in homes and cars! This pendant will bring you the same protection the straw crosses do!

The double sided pendant is crafted from authentic sterling silver, and is stamped at the Assay Office in Dublin Castle to assure its quality. The Cross measures approximately 7/8” wide and 1” tall. It comes on an 18” long sterling silver standard chain, also known as a rolo chain, which is comfortably thin and durable. This pendant is made by Solvar located in Co. Dublin, Ireland. Solvar is a family owned company that has been making high quality Celtic jewelry for over seven decades. Get this St. Brigid's Celtic Cross for yourself or a loved one today!

To care for quality jewelry, make sure each piece is stored separately. Store in a dry, clean place in a divided jewelry box or individual boxes. It is good to bring in your fine jewelry to a professional jeweler for cleaning once a year. Jewelry can be cleaned by hand using a liquid jewelry cleaner, found in jewelry stores, or gentle soap and water. Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, as that will harm and dull most fine materials. Remove jewelry before showering.
