Mother and Child Pendant – Blue

Mother & Child

The Mother & Child pendants are inspired by the Stained Glass windows called “Suffer Little Children” designed by Harry Clarke for St. Patrick’s Church, Donabate, Co. Dublin. A local group of artists worked together as a group and created different pieces inspired by the windows. The word “suffer” here means allow. Tracy’s design captures the bond between a mother and child while also touching upon madonna and child imagery.

This Mother and Child pendant is meticulously handcrafted in sterling silver with love for Irish roots, history and folklore. It comes on a sterling silver chain.

The pendant comes in blue and green and Celtic spirals (triskele) feature at the back of each piece.

The pendant measures 30mm in diameter and is striking when worn – guaranteed to be noticed.

The pendants are hallmarked – 925 sterling silver – in the Assay Office at Dublin Castle.

 *  this material is a type of acrylic specifically chosen for its translucent and anti-scratch properties. These pieces require nothing more than a wipe of a polishing cloth to maintain and are also OK to place into an ultrasonic cleaner.

Tracy’s Inspiration

Tracy was educated through the Irish language and her love of Ireland’s heritage is central to this collection. Her designs often feature an innovative use of light inspired by the prehistoric monument at Newgrange, Co. Meath in Ireland that was constructed between 3000 and 2500 BC. It is aligned with the rising sun and once a year, on the Winter Solstice (the shortest day of the year), light floods the chamber of Newgrange to spectacular effect. Newgrange also showcases some wonderful early artwork with Celtic Spirals etched into large rocks at the front of the monument. These pieces attempt to capture the magic and importance of Newgrange as a national Irish treasure.
