Description
This tie bar is handcrafted in Sterling Silver and available in a polished or oxidized finish. The tie slide design is known as Celtic Shield. My style is a unique design based on an old style. I have created an updated modern version of the style. You can also find a selection of rings, pendants bracelets and wedding bands and cufflinks with the Celtic Shield design.
 
About the Design
The inspiration for tie slide comes from one of the greatest Irish treasures, The Ardagh Chalice.  The Ardagh Chalice dates back to the 8th Century and makes up part of a collection called The Ardagh Hoard. The collection was discovered buried in a field in the village of Ardagh in County Limerick, Ireland. The beautifully detailed Ardagh Chalice is one of the finest examples of eighth-century metalwork ever to be discovered. The Ardagh Chalice is adorned with numerous different patterns and designs but the intricately coiled serpents and domed rivets is where the inspiration for my unique style lays.
 
Where is it made? 
Each Celtic Shield tie bar is individually made to order in my workshop in Dublin, Ireland. By making each one to order I can ensure you get a quality piece made with the most intricate detail. Each one is hallmarked in the Irish assay office in Dublin castle.
