The St Brigid's Cross Symbol

St. Brigid was a contemporary of St. Patrick who founded a monastery in Kildare in the 6th century. It is said that she converted her father to Christianity while making a cross from rushes. In those early Christian times the farmers adopted the custom of making these same crosses at the beginning of spring to protect their holding, placing them in prominent positions in their houses and buildings.

The tradition of making the crosses on the 1st February, St. Brigid's Feast Day, continues to the present day.

Connemara Marble and Connemara Ireland

These beautifully crafted earrings are made with polished Connemara marble. Quarried in western Ireland, Connemara marble dates from the Precambrian era more than 900 million years ago. Connemara lies in the territory of Iar Connacht, "West Connacht," which is the west portion of County Galway, Ireland. Connemara Marble is referred to "Ireland's Gem Stone" as it is a very unique and rare form of Marble. This beautiful marble offers a range of colour tones, from the lighter, paler shades of green, all the way to rich dark emerald tones. How fitting for Ireland that one of its natural treasures is the only green marble known to exist!

This sterling silver St Brigid's cross pendant has been created by our expert designers in Connemara marble, a unique stone that dates back over 900 million years and is known as “Ireland’s gemstone”. Our Connemara marble is authentic, coming from the Joyce family mine in Connemara itself. The St. Brigid's Cross on this pendant is a powerful symbol of faith, dating back to the ninth century. This marble St. Brigid's pendant has been Irish hallmarked in Dublin Castle.
