Celtic High Cross Pendants

I went on a trip to Duleek last week, to see the beautiful High Cross there. I highly recommend going.

Years ago, I made a master pattern of this cross for a major jeweller in Dublin. It was part of a collection of four High Crosses I created for them. I really enjoyed the research involved—I spent around 30–40 hours on each master pattern, all four sides intricately carved to get them looking perfect!

The four High Crosses I worked on were Moone, Carndonagh, Duleek, and Muiredach’s Cross at Monasterboice.
