Kilkenny Marble

Kilkenny Marble is a dark limestone unique to Ireland. This sophisticated and beautiful black stone was formed in the geological tie known as the Carboniferous period and is flecked with paler shades representing the fossilised shelly creates, corals and sea lillies contained therein.

Quarried in Kilkenny in eastern Ireland for hundreds of years it gives Kilkenny its famous nickname, 'The Marble City'.

Trinity Knot

Although the origins of the Trinity Knot can be traced back to pagan times it later was used in ancient Celtic Art and religious manuscripts such as the Book of Kells.

In modern times it has become synonymous to Christians as the symbol of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son & Holy Spirit)

Along with the Claddagh it is a hugely popular design in modern Irish Jewellery.
