Our Story
Est. 1996 - Dublin, Ireland
Our Story
Nearly three decades of authentic Irish Celtic jewellery
Where it all began
Celtic Cross Online was founded in Dublin in 1996 - making us one of the very first Celtic jewellery retailers to sell online. Long before ecommerce became mainstream, we believed that the beauty and meaning of authentic Irish Celtic jewellery deserved a global audience. Nearly three decades later, that belief has been proven right by hundreds of thousands of customers across the USA, Canada, Australia and beyond.
What started as a passion for sharing the rich heritage of Irish craftsmanship has grown into one of the most trusted Celtic jewellery destinations online. Our customers come to us not just for jewellery, but for a genuine connection to Ireland - its history, its symbols and its people.
Handcrafted in Dublin
Every piece in our collection is crafted by skilled Dublin goldsmiths who have spent their careers mastering the ancient art of Celtic jewellery. From the intricate interlaced knotwork of our Celtic crosses to the delicate hands, heart and crown of our Claddagh rings, each piece is made with the precision and care that only true craftsmanship can deliver.
We work with a small number of trusted Dublin workshops, each with their own deep expertise in particular styles - from replica High Crosses inspired by Ireland's ancient stone monuments to contemporary Celtic designs that carry the old symbolism into modern life.
Our collection
Our collection spans the full breadth of Irish Celtic symbolism. Celtic cross necklaces remain our most beloved pieces - available in sterling silver and 9k, 10k and 14k gold, each one inspired by the great High Crosses of Ireland from Clonmacnoise to Monasterboice. We also carry Claddagh rings, Connemara marble jewellery, Ogham pendants, Viking-inspired pieces, shamrock jewellery, heraldry pieces and much more.
Whatever Celtic symbol speaks to you or the person you are gifting, you will find it in our collection - crafted to the highest standard and guaranteed authentic by the Irish Assay Office hallmark.
The Irish Assay Office Hallmark
Every piece of gold and silver jewellery in our collection is hallmarked by the Irish Assay Office at Dublin Castle. This hallmark - one of the oldest in the world - is your guarantee that the metal content of your jewellery is exactly as described. When you buy from Celtic Cross Online, you are buying genuine Irish craftsmanship backed by centuries of Irish tradition.
