The Cross represents Christianity, and the circle represents eternity, having no beginning and no end.


In addition to this beautiful representation, Celtic crosses can also function like miniature sculptures or pieces of art, drawing attention to spaces like bookshelves, entryways, and fireplaces.


4. Little Rosary "Paidrin Beag" - Single Decade Rosary

Sometimes it's nice to have a rosary that fits just so in your pocket.


And just like each and everyone of us, your decade rosary is unique from all others as it's made of Connemara marble.


Silver is nice but do you have gold instead?


3. Celtic Creation Cross Plaque

The interweaving of the Celtic spiral is a symbol of the dance of Creation, which unites us with the Cosmos, Nature and each other.


This elegant pattern has no beginning or end and is unbroken, reminding us of the eternal.


It's small enough to hang or stand just about anywhere but not so small that it becomes lost among other home decor.


You likely won't find this gorgeous piece in just any shop here in the States. A truly unique piece for your home!


2. Golden Angel Pocket Charm

A beautiful gift to keep in your pocket or share with your friends. A guardian angel to watch over you every day. Keep one in your car, tucked inside your purse, or in the pocket of your jeans. A little bit of love goes such a long way.

Rosary beads are a gift of spiritual glow. This particular strand is large enough to give the bearer space and flexibility.


The cross of Iona (St. John's cross) is associated with prayer and pilgrimage. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, these ornate beads will help guide you.
