Genuine Green Irish Connemara Marble Earrings for Women

The Trinity Knot is an ancient Irish symbol that dates back centuries, even before the iconic Celtic Cross. In early Christianity, it came to represent the father, son, and Holy Spirit, with no beginning and no ending, illustrating the eternity of things. For the pagan cultures of Ireland, the trinity knot also represented the maiden, mother, and crone cycles of womanhood or the three elements of fire, water, and earth.

These sterling silver Trinity Knot earrings, measuring approximately 1/2" wide by 1 1/8" tall, dangle from fish hook backings. The earrings are made by Solvar Ltd., a family-owned company based in Dublin that has won many awards for their fine Irish jewelry. Solvar's creations are always inspired by the culture and history of Ireland.

The earrings feature Connemara Marble, a green gem found only in the rugged region of Connemara on the West Coast of Ireland, making it a true rarity. With these earrings, you will literally be wearing a piece of Ireland.

All of Biddy Murphy's fine jewelry, including these earrings, has been hallmark stamped at the Assay Office in Dublin Castle in Dublin, Ireland. This assures the quality of design and materials. The small hallmark, which requires a magnifying glass to see on the back of the earrings, features a mark designating genuine sterling silver, a Solvar mark, an Assay Office mark, and a traditional fineness mark.

The purpose of hallmarking is to assure the buyer that the jewelry is made from genuine silver and/or gold. Assay Offices exist for the express purpose of verifying quality. Biddy Murphy was certified by the Federation of Jewelry Manufacturers of Ireland in 2008 after the CEO took an accreditation class, ensuring they sell genuine fine jewelry.

Biddy Murphy, based in South Haven, Michigan, has been selling authentic Irish gifts since 2004. The company's CEO travels to Ireland several times a year to meet with suppliers and crafters, hand-selecting the products to offer customers. Biddy Murphy strives to be a trusted source for all things Irish, from Claddagh rings to shillelaghs.

To care for your jewelry, store each piece separately in a dry, clean place. Bring fine jewelry to a professional jeweler for cleaning once a year, or clean it by hand using a liquid jewelry cleaner or gentle soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, as they can harm and dull most fine materials. Wearing sterling silver jewelry regularly will help keep it bright and shiny, as the natural oils of your skin help maintain its cleanliness.

These beautiful Irish jewelry earrings made in Ireland by Solvar make a wonderful gift. They come in a gift box for easy gifting, and are sure to be a cherished addition to any jewelry box.
