Good quality and very lovelyDec 28, 2008
By J. Burnette Critser
"Equal Opportunity Reader"
My husband bought this for me after finding it on my wishlist here on Amazon. I'm very, very happy with the quality of the piece; it's well-crafted and made of heavy silver, heavier than I expected. This won't be our last purchase from the supplier, Silver Insanity!
Brigid was originally a Celtic goddess who was the patroness of blacksmiths, poets, and healers; She's my favorite!
Blessed Be,
Julia C.

Brief history and recomendationNov 04, 2007
By H. Dean Shotwell
St. Brigid is the female patron saint of Ireland. The original cross was woven from reeds for a Celtic chieftain on his deathbed. I love the detail on the pendant and would recomend this to anyone looking for a unique cross or jewelery.

St. Brigid CrossMay 13, 2007

Abstracted design captures the feeling of the original rushes, better than those that try and duplicate the real thing.

Couldn't find St Brigid's Cross in Silver in IrelandMay 13, 2008
By Wandering Colorado Girl
I heard the story of St Brigid years ago, my first visit to Ireland. My last trip I looked for it in sterling silver and couldn't find it. I can't believe I found this on Amazon. The cut is precise and just a perfect size. I bought a 20" chain as well and they are perfect together. A great buy!
