Nobody really knows whether the Luck of the Irish really exists, but there are certainly plenty if Celtic and Irish themes charms available. These would be an excellent gift for a loved one on St. Patrick's Day, which is on 17th March. As well as the instantly recognizable Celtic cross, another Irish style is the Claddagh ring. These are by tradition given as a token of love, or else worn as a wedding ring. The tradition is presumed to originate in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, which is near Galway in the West of the country.

Other Irish symbols which appear on charms are of course the shamrock, one of the national symbols of Ireland, associated with St. Patrick's use of the three leafed plant to explain the Trinity on his evangelizing mission to Ireland, and the four leafed clover, which has always been associated with good fortune.

Many Celtic and Irish charms are decorated with the interlaced and swirling Celtic art filigree which come to us from masterpiece illuminated works such as the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Book Of Kells, and from chalices (Ardagh Chalice) and broaches (Tara Broach) also dating back to the time when Ireland was known as the Land of Saints and Scholars.

Star of David and sterling silver menorah designs are available for members of the Jewish faith.
