Product Details:

Experience the protective charm of the St. Brigid Cross with this exquisite necklace crafted from authentic sterling silver.

The pendant, made by Solvar in Co. Dublin, Ireland, is meticulously crafted from nickel-free sterling silver, ensuring both durability and allergy-free wear. It arrives elegantly gift-boxed, making it an ideal choice for gifting occasions. Each piece is hallmark stamped at Dublin Castle, guaranteeing its quality and authenticity.

Solvar, a renowned family-owned business with over seventy years of expertise in crafting Celtic jewelry, meticulously produces each necklace.

This certification ensures that the necklace meets stringent quality standards.

Care Instructions:

To preserve its luster, store the necklace separately in a dry, clean place, preferably in its original box or a divided jewelry organizer.
