DESCRIPTION
This Celtic Warrior Shield Bangle is from the original Celtic Warrior Collection. Experience the Celtic Warrior Collection – step back in time and feel the history, culture and honour in each exquisite piece. Using 95 Sterling Silver, we have created a collection that recreates the past and also reflects contemporary fashion.
The pieces in the Celtic Warrior Collection reflect the four seasons and the movement of the sun. It also symbolizes the effect the pagan snake God Crom, had on Christianity in Ireland.
This collection is inspired by one of Ireland’s most famous treasures. This is the Ardagh Chalice. The Ardagh Chalice is from the 8th century AD and is also one of Ireland’s most prized artifacts. The Chalice was found in 1868 in Ardagh, County Limerick. It was found by two men who were digging for potatoes. The Chalice is in the National Museum of Ireland. It’s one of the most important pieces of Celtic art.
The bowl and foot of the chalice are made of silver. The outer side of the bowl is decorated with applied gold, silver, glass, amber and enamel ornament. The underside of the foot contains a polished rock crystal at the centre. There are also great examples of fine filigree gold work on this piece.
