Traditional sterling silver charm bracelet 7" in length with Shamrock charm attached.  A charm bracelet is a wonderful way to share the story of a woman's life.  Each charm tells a story about special events, special people and the places she has traveled.  Every little girl loves to sit in her Grandmother's lap and hear the stories about each charm on her bracelet.  In many cultures, a charm bracelet is handed down from generation to generation as more charms are added and the events and stories continue.  The legacy of family history and wonderful stories continues with each new generation.

Claddagh Cross Pendant 14Karat, two-tone Gold.  The Claddagh was designed by a fisherman named Richard Joyce.  Shortly before he was due to be married, Joyce was captured at sea by pirates and sold into slavery in Algeria.  He became the property of a rich Moorish goldsmith, who sensing his potential began to train him in his craft.  In time Joyce  became a fully proficient master craftsman and with thoughts of the girl he had left behind close to his heart, he fashioned the first Claddagh Ring.  The heart symbolizing love, the pair of hands representing friendship and the crown for loyalty and fidelity.  In 1698, Richard Joyce found himself once more a free man.  His master, who had grown very fond of him offered his only daughter in marriage and half of his business if he would remain in Algiers, but Joyce declined and returned home to Galway.  There he found that his sweetheart had waited for his return and presented her with the Claddagh Ring and were married.
