Ancient European Tradition, Modern Irish Design
The use of marcasite as an alternative to silver and diamond dates back to the classical period of Greek antiquity. The pyrite crystalline structure offers strength and stability in jewelry making and has been associated with grounding and protection for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks first mined the stone, which later became fashionable in the Victorian era. It was associated with the understated sophistication of royalty and aristocrats, who often wore it in public.
Connemara Marble and Irish Shamrock
The shamrock is Ireland’s most famous national symbol and dates back to the 5th century AD, when Saint Patrick is said to have used it to explain Christian theology to pagan Irish warlords.
The lesser known but powerfully symbolic rare green Irish Connemara marble is found only in Ireland's far western province on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The natural tones create the perfect backdrop and contrast to the marcasite and silver of the shamrock central feature.
