The Irish Gifts & Jewelry Blog

With Christmas fast approaching, this is the perfect time to think of that Irish gift for that special lady in your life. Our large Claddagh pendant is the perfect piece of Irish jewelry to fit that bill. The Claddagh ring dates back many centuries, and this pendant is another way to wear its beautiful design and meaning.

This wonderful Irish pendant is handmade in Ireland, and hallmarked in Dublin Castle.  The craftsmanship is quite evident, and it is beautifully gift boxed.  The pendant is complete with an 18″ bell chain and clasp.  Give an irish gift this season with a truly personal touch, and one full of ancient Irish meaning.

Dear Julie,

Our eldest daughter graduates this month and I’d like to get her something special that will help her remember this occasion. The families of both my husband and I trace our roots to Ireland, so I was thinking of an Irish pendant. What kind would you recommend for around $150?

Thanks!

An Irish pendant would indeed make a wonderful graduation gift. It would remind your daughter of this special occasion, her heritage, and would become an heirloom in future years. A classic pendant is suitable for just about any occasion, but remains light enough for everyday wear.

In this case, I can’t help but be drawn to simplicity. I would recommend this Gold Claddagh Plain Pendant in either 10K or 14K gold. Both are priced in and around your budget. I think your daughter would treasure this for many years to come!
