The circles around the intersection of the cross represent unification, totality, wholeness and inclusion. We are very lucky in Ireland as we can take our inspiration from the high crosses we can still look at and touch here in Ireland – true living history.
Our Connemara Marble at the center adds authenticity and beauty to our Celtic Cross and the marriage with our Irish sterling silver is very special.

Connemara Marble Silver Celtic Cross Pendant
Connemara is a region situated alongside the Atlantic Ocean in the west of Ireland. The word Connemara comes from the Gaelic meaning “Inlets for the sea”. Oscar Wilde described it best when he spoke of the region possessing a “savage beauty”. Beneath this sharp and rugged landscape lies the green marble, a rare and unique gemstone.
Dating over 900 million years old Connemara Marble is Mother Nature’s Masterpiece. An inspiration for artisans across the world, each piece of Connemara Marble is as unique as a fingerprint. It is the perfect choice for anyone who would like to incorporate green tones into their jewelry wardrobe. Soft hues will suit any skin tone and the feel of smooth, cooling natural stone on your skin brings a sense of serenity to the wearer.
Coming in over 40 shades of green this gemstone has a high magnesium content which is thought to aid in the absorption of calcium and magnesium. Formed from sediment deposited in a shallow primal sea over 900 million years ago. Striations of rich to pale green within the marble are formed by tiny crystals of green serpentine, diopside, chlorite and rich white calcite with dolomite.
Our quarry, owned and operated by the Walsh family for over 80 years, is located in Lissoughter, County Galway. Here we hand lift the marble. Since 1945 the Walsh family have worked this rare green marble, and we take great pride in every timeless treasure that we bring to you.
Producing ethical, natural but authentic pieces is always in the forefront of our minds. Chemicals or treatments are NOT used in our jewelry making. Once the jewelry is crafted, we use natural beeswax to polish the marble.
Connemara Marble is now a World Heritage Stone. Designated as such this year in 2022 our marble is one of 32 Heritage Stones worldwide. Known as “the Gemstone of Ireland”, it is the standout Irish geological material and therefore recognized as the iconic stone of Ireland and indeed a rare gemstone.
The motto of our family run Irish business is simply “There is no greater designer than Mother Nature herself”.
