CLADDAGH BIRTHSTONE COLLECTION





Our Claddagh birthstone jewellery collection features bright and vibrant gemstones representing each month of the year. 

The history of birthstones can be traced back thousands of years. The oldest known use of birthstones dates back to the book of Exodus in the Bible where the 'breastplate of Aaron' the High Priest of the Hebrews, was inlaid with 12 gemstones. The modern use of birthstones is believed to originate in Poland in the 18th century where gem traders promoted the sale of each birthstone based on a person's birth month.

The Claddagh design is the perfect setting for each colourful gemstone. What better gift than a Claddagh ring featuring your own birthstone!
