These pendants feature intricate designs inspired by those found on the Ardagh Chalice, an 8th century chalice (large two handled silver cup) so named because it was discovered by two young men digging near an ancient ring fort in a field near the village of Ardagh in County Limerick in 1868. Each is made from sterling silver and ornamented with a circle of unusual Irish gold, mined in Ireland. The pendants are available in 3 sizes (1.5cm, 2cm or 3cm in length), each on 18inch (46cm) chains.
