A 9ct gold shamrock pendant with green connemara set flush to each leaf — the stone sitting level with the gold surface, a clean and considered setting that gives the pendant a refined appearance. The shamrock form is well made and of good size.
The shamrock carries two layers of meaning — national pride for those of Irish heritage, and the spiritual symbolism of the three leaves representing the Holy Trinity. Both readings have made it one of the most enduringly popular motifs in British and Irish jewellery.
Very good condition.
