Nothing says "Ireland" quite like a shamrock, one of the best known icons of the Emerald Isle and a sign of charm and luck. The shamrock is captured here in a beautiful 14k gold necklace, featuring bright gold sparkle. Solvar is a family-owned company established in Dublin in 1941, and is one of the most well-respected manufacturers of Irish heritage jewelry. For centuries, the shamrock has been understood as one of the most internationally-recognized symbols of the Irish nation and people, and it's little surprise as to why -- historians claim that the ancient Irish Celts believed the plant to have powerful magical properties, and later, when Christianity began to arrive on Irish shores, St. Patrick himself used a shamrock sprig as a teaching tool to explain the equal yet distinct powers of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
