Summer time is a great time to reconnect with your Celtic heritage. From wearing a piece of Irish or Celtic jewelry to exploring the Wild Atlantic Way or doing a tour of the new Ireland’s Ancient East, here are three great ways to reconnect with your Celtic heritage.

Showcase Your Heritage with Jewelry
The best way of indicating that you are Irish or have Irish heritage is to choose a piece of jewelry and wear it with pride. Rings from Ireland regularly showcase their top picks of Irish and Celtic jewelry from rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and bangles and crosses to tie pins and cufflinks.


Celtic and Irish jewelry has evolved so much over the past few years and the work of Irish craftspeople is being celebrated in this year’s Irish Design 2015, a year of celebration of Irish design and designers across the island of Ireland. President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins is a Patron of Irish Design 2015 emphasizing how much that design has come to the forefront in Ireland.

Explore the Wild Atlantic Way or Ireland’s Ancient East
Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way is a great way to reconnect with your Celtic heritage. Stretching from Donegal to Cork, the 2,500km driving route passes through nine counties.  

Cliffs of Moher

Whether your Irish and Celtic interests are in geology, geography, folklore, music or sporting, there are tailored attractions and tours, both outdoor and indoor all along the Wild Atlantic Way that help visitors to reconnect with their roots.

A new route, ‘Ireland’s Ancient East’, will also be launched in 2016 and cover 5000 years of Irish history from the dawn of civilization including the prehistoric attractions of the Boyne Valley in Newgrange, near the headquarters of Rings from Ireland.

Find Your Irish Roots
It’s now possible to search back through your family history to past generations via irishgenealogy.ie. A new search facility has been introduced to explore wide genealogical information back to the 1901 and 1911 Census returns, in addition to Church records.   

Researching Irish ancestors can be painstaking work and take a lot of time and effort. It is now possible to go back through the indexes to the Civil Registers of Births, Marriages and Deaths to find out more information on family records.

Unlock your Celtic and Irish heritage now and continue the enduring ties of you and your family to the island of Ireland.
