Known as the symbol for Celtic Christianity, Celtic crosses are believed by many scholars to actually pre-date Christianity. Nevertheless, ancient Celtic crosses, with their intersections surrounded by a large circle, were erected in Ireland as early as the 8th Century.
Some of these ancient Celtic Crosses remain standing throughout Ireland. Some of the most famous are right here in County Louth, where Rings from Ireland is located. It is a point of pride that our very shop is nearly in the shadow of the two greatest Celtic Crosses in all of Ireland, the Muiredach's Cross and the West Cross at Monasterboice.
In addition to traditional Celtic cross jewelry, we also sell pendants featuring Bridget's cross, which looks like a cross made from hay, fashioned in various precious metals. Many of our Celtic cross pendants also bear the world-beloved Claddagh symbol of love and friendship.
