About the Design
Newgrange or Brú na Bóinne in Gaelic, a Neolithic passage tomb built over 5000 years ago with precise astronomical alignment to the sun. The art is one of the most remarkable features of the Newgrange monument. Some of it is a spectacular combination of spirals, lozenges, chevrons, triangles and arrangements of parallel lines and arcs. There are many theories as to the meaning of the carvings; the most popular representing the cycles of the sun.
The single spiral is believed to represent the sun.
The double spiral representing the sun’s journey over the course of the year.
The Triskele is believed to represent the unity of the elements of earth; air, fire and water.
 
Where is it made?
Each Newgrange pendant is individually handcrafted in my workshop in Dublin, Ireland. By handcrafting each one to order I can ensure you get a quality piece made with the most intricate detail made to last for generations to come. Each one is hallmarked in the Irish assay office in Dublin castle.
