Name: Éireann Brooch with 14ct Gold
SKU: 666468

Sterling silver with 14ct gold detailing this Éireann brooch is a wee bit special...

Shamrock - Ireland, St Patrick, the green fields of Ireland.

Lily - Symbol of peace, Ireland’s role as a peacemaker, the end of fighting on Irish soil.

Heart - Love that burns in the hearts of every Irish person for Ireland.

These three elements come together at the base of the Éireann pendant to form the Newgrange Tri-Spiral, one of the oldest symbols of Ireland.

It’s meaning is myriad...

Here it represents life, death and rebirth, as Ireland has emerged from it's troubled past.

Each strand of this brooch individually made with solid chunky 14ct gold heart, shamrock, tri spiral and lily stamen, and completed with 1.5 mm sterling silver wire.
To create this, 14 different solder joints are needed. This is complicated on such a tight piece and requires a lot of time and patience. It is not straight forward, and there is around 2 grams of solid 14ct gold as well as over 5 grams of sterling silver.
I think it is worth the effort, what do you think?
