Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Shamrock Medal is given entirely to one broad three-lobed leaf. Each lobe is modelled separately and finely veined, the stem curls down through the lower half of the piece, and a second small sprig grows beside it. There is no lettering anywhere; the leaf carries the whole meaning.
★ Made in the USA
The shamrock belongs to Saint Patrick, who by long tradition plucked one from the grass at his feet and held it up to explain the Trinity to the Irish he had come to convert: three lobes on a single stem, three Persons in one God. Worn plain, it stands both for that teaching and for Ireland itself, and it remains one of the simplest ways a Christian can carry the central mystery of the faith through an ordinary day.
The shamrock medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
Size: 1 inch tall
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
