Provide protection from want and evil with the gift of this St. Brigid Cross necklace. For centuries, it has been customary to fashion a St. Brigid's cross out of straw and place it at the entrance of the home on Brigid's holiday, February 1st. The idea is that the cross would protect the occupants of the home; today, children still weave the crosses in school, and they're hung in homes and cars. This pendant will bring you the same protection the straw crosses do! The double sided pendant is crafted from authentic sterling silver. The Cross measures approximately 7/8" wide and 1" tall. The Irish cross comes on an 18" long sterling silver standard chain, also known as a rolo chain, which is comfortably thin and durable. This pendant is made by Solvar located in Co. Dublin, Ireland. Solvar is a family owned company that has been making high quality Celtic jewelry for over seven decades. This Solvar necklace has been hallmark stamped at the Assay Office in Dublin Castle in Dublin, Ireland, assuring quality of design and materials. The small hallmark requires a magnifying glass to find on the back of the pendant. The hallmark features a mark designating genuine sterling silver, a Solvar mark, an Assay Office mark, and a traditional fineness mark.
