The Story
At the heart of the pendant lies genuine Connemara marble, often known as Ireland's gemstone. Found only in the west of Ireland, each stone features natural variations in colour and pattern that make every piece unique. As a result, the marble in the necklace you receive may differ slightly from the examples pictured.
Marcasite accents, detailed silverwork and the traditional Celtic circle give the pendant a sense of history and craftsmanship, while the antique-style finish enhances its vintage appeal.

Whether chosen as a personal expression of faith, a connection to Irish heritage or a thoughtful gift, this Solvar Celtic Cross pendant is made to be worn and treasured for years to come. Combining authentic Connemara marble with timeless Celtic symbolism, it offers a lasting connection to Ireland and its traditions.

About us
Margo and Gustaf Obernik
Founded in 1941 by Gustaf Obernik, Solvar stemmed from his fascination with Ireland's heritage and the surge in tourism he witnessed at the Gap of Dunloe, Co Killarney. This ignited his passion to design and create jewellery that captured the essence of Ireland.
Dublin City
Our humble beginnings started with just two employees at No.10 Harcourt Street in Dublin City. Mr Obernik quickly gained recognition for his beautiful pieces inspired by Celtic designs and Irish history.
Handcrafted with skill
We remain committed to using high-quality materials to craft timeless pieces that honour Ireland's cultural legacy. Our collections feature iconic Irish symbols like the Claddagh, the Celtic knot, and the shamrock, ensuring a piece of Ireland for everyone.
