Collier Claddagh en argent avec grenat

A deep red garnet warms this silver Claddagh necklace, giving the crowned heart a rich splash of colour.

Garnet is the birthstone for January, which makes this pendant a particularly personal gift for a winter birthday, though its wine-red tone suits any occasion where you want a Claddagh that feels a little special. Against silver the stone really glows. Give it to a partner on Valentine’s Day, to a daughter on her 18th, or to a friend as a token of loyalty. It comes from the Galway jewellers who have made the original Claddagh since 1750, and whose shop holds a small museum of Claddagh rings dating back to the 1700s.
