If you love all things Irish, this snowflake will surely become a favorite! From the Book of Kells, knotwork symbolizes eternal life, and this snowflake starts out with six beautiful knots atop six Claddaghs. In the very center of the open circle hangs a delightful miniature shamrock. The shamrock, which derives from the Irish word seamrog meaning "summer plant", was used by St. Patrick to demonstrate the meaning of the Trinity. This highly polished silver over pewter ornament measures 3" from top of fixed bail to bottom and 2 ¾" across. A wonderful addition to your Christmas tree, it can also be worn as a pendant- and because of it's lightweight, what a great pair of earrings for the bold of heart! What a great gift idea! Nollaig Shona (Merry Christmas in Irish Gaelic)!!! |
