This sterling silver necklace celebrates the Celtic Tree of Life with branches decorated with green crystals, surrounded by a Celtic circle which represents the circle of life. Trinity knots grow out from the branches to remind the wearer of eternal love and family. This necklace comes with a 18 inch sterling silver rolo chain.
Tree of Life
The detailed tree of life holds several connotations, including family, heritage, and connection. The branches reach out just as we reach out in search of knowledge and understanding. The strong, centered trunk embodies unity and stability, while the leaves or fruit show regrowth and rejuvenation. The roots can exemplify the deep roots of proud Irish heritage.
Trinity Knot
The Trinity Knot has its origins traced to the famous Book of Kells, created in an Irish monastery hundreds of years ago. Monks worked tirelessly to spread the word of God, using the never-ending knot to illustrate the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The knot is also used to symbolize eternal love and the interconnectedness between mind, body, and spirit.
Meet Our Vendor
Solvar exemplifies admiration of Ireland to its very core. On a family trip in 1941, one man was struck by the rich culture and allure of Ireland. Born out of appreciation of the beauty of Killarney’s Gap of Dunloe, founder Gustaf “Nicky” Obernik endeavored to create jewelry inspired by the history and heritage of Ireland. With only two employees on No. 10 Harcourt Street in Dublin, his company of humble beginnings soon became known for its exquisite Celtic and Irish inspired work. Most notably, he was one of the first individuals to incorporate Connemara Marble, a beautiful stone that can only be found in Ireland, into his brooches. Obernik’s two sons, Tony and Nicky carried on the family business in the 60’s by providing their unique talents. Tony travelled to and fro and gathered inspiration while Nicky developed meaningful relationships with customers. The heritage continues with Obernik’s grandson Marcus, who currently works as the creative director.
Solvar pieces are unique in their design, through which they tell the story of Ireland's rich past. Master designers craft meaningful Irish symbols into timeless works that embody Ireland’s legacy.
