Celtic Chalice Earrings, "Celtic Chalice"

The eighth-century Ardagh Chalice in the National Museum of Ireland is one of the most remarkable pieces of Celtic art. It was found in the 1800s by men who were plowing for potatoes. A repoussé design on the chalice, representing a protective shield, is the inspiration for these sterling silver and 18-karat gold dangle earrings. Handcrafted in Ireland using the lost-wax casting process.
