Made in Ireland and inspired by the shortest day and longest night of the year, this sterling silver Boru Solstice Necklace celebrates the quiet energy and reflection on time past of The Winter Solstice. Intricate Celtic Knots inspired by the art found at Ireland's famous Newgrange passage tomb- where the sunrise on the Winter Solstice shines directly into the opening, lighting up the interior- and sparkling Cubic Zirconia cradle the sun-like 18k gold bead, meant to inspire one to examine and release your past and set goals and intentions for the coming year, just as the ancient Celts did thousands of years ago.
Even older than the Pyramids at Giza and Britain's Stonehenge, Ireland's ancient Newgrange (or Sí an Bhrú) passage tomb is a neolithic structure, thought to have been built around 3200 BCE. Part of the wider Brú na Bóinne UNESCO world heritage site, the passage tomb is considered both one of the world's foremost Neolithic structures and one of the most significant examples of ancient Irish artwork.
