Saint Bridget's Cross - A Uniquely Irish Design

From shamrocks to Claddagh rings, Celtic jewelry and design is a standard of Irish culture and elegance. However, many Irish designs are often overlooked among the less extensive Celtic jewelers. One example of a beautiful and delicate design that can make a beautiful staple in the Irish jewelry admirer's collection are Celtic cross pendants, and particularly, the Saint Bridget's Cross.

Originally made by rushes found on the Irish country side, Saint Bridget's cross is a uniquely Irish combination of culture and religion. Comprised of a woven square in the center with four radials in rotation around it, Saint Bridget's Cross has become an unofficial symbol of Ireland.

Saint Brigid's Cross is associated with Bridget of Kildare, the patron Saint of Ireland. According to Christian legend, Saint Bridget was sent to a Pagan Chieftain's house to console him at his deathbed, and during her consolation, she began to weave a cross out of the rushes on the earthen floor. When the Chieftain asked her what she was making, Bridget told him the story of Christ and Christianity, and the Chieftain was so inspired he was converted upon his deathbed and baptized at the point of death. According to tradition, the Irish would make the crosses on February 1st, her feast day. Traditionally associated with protecting houses from fire and evil, Saint Bridget's Crosses can be found in many Irish and Irish-American kitchens.

For the person who has everything, the 14 karat gold Saint Bridget's Cross is a perfect gift. While the Celtic Cross and Trinity Knot are classic symbols of Ireland, Saint Bridget's Cross is a beautifully unique design of the Emerald Isle. This masterfully crafted Saint Bridget's Cross is a permanent reflection of Irish culture and beauty. This 14 karat gold pendant is uniquely designed to show each individual reed and detail. Whether you're seeking to dress up a formal look or add a delicate splash to a casual wardrobe, this piece of Celtic jewelry will definitely spark conversation and catch admiring glances.
