Jewelry: The Perfect Souvenir from Your Ireland Vacation (plus a giveaway!)

Send to Kindle

While it’s tempting to buy items emblazoned with Ireland, few of those are actually made in Ireland.  I certainly understand the desire – hey, we have two teddy bears from the Cliffs of Moher, a couple of fuzzy sheep and some Wacky Woolies items floating around our house- I have found that few souvenirs get as much use, or bring back as many memories, as the pieces of jewelry I bring him from our travels.  From our Claddagh wedding bands, to the Celtic Knot pendant I purchased on my second trip, nothing I have brought home equals the joy I feel when I put on a piece of Irish jewelry.

On my recent trip I found a new pendant- a shamrock sphere pendant in silver and gold.  The image on the advertisement was so beautiful that I hesitated to ask the price, knowing it would be far outside my budget.  Thankfully I overcame my hesitation, because not only was the beautiful necklace not outside my budget- it was far less expensive than I imagined it would be.

Isn’t it stunning?

When I returned home I had the opposite of buyer’s remorse- I regretted not purchasing the Celtic Spiral sphere pendant as well.  I searched the internet and could not find the necklaces anywhere- not even on the jewelry company website.  I reached out to my friend Leigh Maher at Irish Celtic Jewels.  After a bit of research, Leigh agreed that the pendants are, indeed, stunning, and now has them available in the online store!

 Sabina When I was in Dingle in 1993, I had an opportunity to swim with Fungi.  I rented a wetsuit from the hostel at which I was staying, and went out in the wee hours to the mouth of the harbor.  I was hoping he'd arrive...and sure enough, he did. It was just the two of us. He swam around me, under me...if I'd have reached out I could have touched him.  He seemed super curious, super friendly, and super happy.  Eventually he swam away...it was one of the most magical experiences of my life.  I have heard Dingle has become far more touristy/busy since '93...but I'm not sure.  I'd love to go back to see if it's changed, and to have the opportunity to see Fungi again.  I hope you get a chance to go!

I'd LOVE to go back to Union Hall, where I was fortunate enough to spend a week a few years ago when attending a friend's wedding.  Also? Dingle.  Was there MANY years ago and fell in love.

Hubby and I went through a lot of trouble to find our wedding rings that were made IN Ireland. I am glad we did because I love them!!
