The silver Claddagh necklace in silver is an exquisite celebration of your Irish lineage. The lady who wears it around her neck proclaims her Irish heritage and also shows her Gaelic spirit that values love, loyalty and friendship above all. The sterling silver Celtic DNA Claddagh necklace is a splendid piece of jewelry steeped in Irish roots and lore. Crafted in sterling silver and rhodium plated for tarnish-free wear, this necklace is made up of a simple chain slung with an intricately worked pendant. The chain is 18” long with 2” extendable option. The pendant is designed to resemble the double helix shape of DNA. Three dimensional with its twin twisting spirals, the pendant is adorned with Celtic knot work from edge to edge. In its center is a gold plated age old Irish Claddagh symbol that’s made up of two hands holding a crowned heart that symbolizes love, loyalty and friendship. The contrast of golden with silver adds instant visibility to the Claddagh motif. This lovely necklace can be paired with matching Celtic DNA silver Claddagh earrings available separately at our site. Wear it to show the world you are proud of your Irish genes. Each purchase comes with a small folding booklet which describes more about each of the Celtic symbols, elevating this very special gift. All designs are designed and made in Ireland as well as hallmarked in the Irish Assay Office which is based in Dublin Castle, Ireland and is a sign of quality and purity.
