With the Six Nations rugby tournament building to an exciting climax during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend, Wexford-based Liwu Jewellery is also putting Ireland firmly on the map.
Jewellery designer, Áine Breen, has launched a new Éire necklace this week, in time for Ireland’s national holiday in March. The delicate openwork map of Ireland on a pretty trace chain will ensure that not only our rugby fans are ready to answer ‘Ireland’s call’!
Available in an 18-inch or 20-inch chain length, the Sterling silver map pendant costs €89.00, while the gold-plated Éire necklace is priced at €99.00, and a 9ct solid gold version of the necklace costs €249.00.
The contemporary Liwu jewellery collection is built on symbolic meaning. Designs feature symbols from Celtic lore and ancient traditions in stylish openwork designs or etched on solid pendants. Each piece is hallmarked in Dublin and comes beautifully boxed, with a meaning card, explaining the symbol and sentiment.
The new Map of Ireland Éire necklace symbolises memories of Ireland and home. With significance for visitors to Ireland, loved ones abroad, and home-birds, the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day holiday will be a popular gifting occasion.
The accompanying Liwu meaning card explains that ‘life takes you to unexpected places and love brings you home. This necklace reminds you, or a loved one, that you will carry Ireland in your heart wherever you may be’.
A shamrock disc pendant symbolising the trinity of Faith, Love and Hope is also a popular choice at this time of year, as is the Celtic knot collection featuring the Trinity Knot for eternal love, and the Dara Knot meaning inner strength.
Shoppers can also look out for 20 percent off Celtic symbols on the Liwu website from March 3rd to the 19th next, in celebration of Ireland’s national holiday.
The Wexford business will ship gift-wrapped jewellery directly, on behalf of the buyer, to include a note alongside the gift. Liwu means ‘gift’ and the Liwu collection includes jewellery for men, like cufflinks and heavier chain bracelets and pendants, as well as for women and children.
Prices range from €49.00 for silver Liwu Jewellery from the symbolic expressions range, and the full collection and all detail is online at www.liwujewellery.com.
The hand-crafted collection of pretty necklaces and matching earrings and bracelets is designed by Áine Breen on a farm by the sea in Ballymoney, County Wexford.
The Liwu designer offers exclusive in-person appointments, in Gorey in Wexford, for customers to view the full range and discuss symbolism and meaning, or to find a jewellery style that suits. Personal consultations or zoom calls for those looking for recommendations or bespoke jewellery, can be booked via the website too.
