This sterling silver Solvar Claddagh necklace is beautiful in its simplicity. Without any extra embellishments, this pendant is Ireland's tried and true Claddagh design- no more, and certainly no less. A small but heavy pendant, it makes the perfect accessory for anyone seeking the striking traditional Irish design.
The Claddagh is one of the most popular symbols in Irish jewelry. Legend has it that in the 17th century, a Galway native was captured by pirates and sold into slavery. During his time as a slave he was sold to a wealthy goldsmith, who taught him the craft.
When he was released years later and returned to Claddagh, Galway, he found his love still waiting for him. It was for her he created the Claddagh ring- the heart symbolising love, the hands friendship, and the crown loyalty.
