St. Brigids Cross

St. Brigid’s Cross is one of Ireland’s most enduring and meaningful folk symbols, deeply rooted in Irish tradition and seasonal custom. Traditionally woven from rushes or straw, the cross is closely associated with Saint Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland’s patron saints, and has been made for centuries to mark Imbolc (February 1st)—the traditional beginning of spring. Hung in homes, barns, and by doorways, St. Brigid’s Cross was believed to offer protection, blessing, and renewal for the year ahead. Its distinctive woven form reflects themes of shelter, continuity, and the cyclical rhythms of nature, blending early Christian symbolism with older Irish seasonal traditions.

Our St. Brigid’s Cross necklaces honor this powerful symbol through beautifully crafted pendants designed to be worn close to the heart. Each piece reflects the cross’s long-standing association with protection, hope, and Irish heritage while offering a timeless and meaningful jewelry design. Whether worn as a symbol of faith, a connection to Irish tradition, or a reminder of renewal and strength, St. Brigid’s Cross jewelry carries centuries of cultural meaning—making it a cherished and thoughtful expression of Celtic identity.
