We aim to ship all orders as soon as possible, but the handmade nature of our jewellery means that most products take up to 5 working days, some larger or unusual pieces can take longer. However, we know life can be hectic, so if you need your order sooner, please checkout with express shipping, and contact us with details of your deadline. We will always do our best to help!
The Shamrock is a three leaf clover, it is the national flower of Ireland and one of the county's most recognised and loved symbols. They were sacred to druids, who believed it would combat evil spirits because the three leaves formed a triad, and three was a mystical number in Celtic beliefs. St. Patrick is said to have used the shamrock leaf as a metaphor, helping illustrate the mystery of the holy trinity, to the pagans as Christianity spread through the country. The tradition of wearing and 'drowning' the Shamrock on Saint Patrick's Day can be traced back to the early 1700s. For good luck, it is usually included in the bouquet and boutonniere of an Irish bride and groom.
Our medal charms are made with real flowers in sterling silver, using the traditional technique of lost wax casting. Each piece is carefully boxed, with our seasonal scented posy, and a Victorian puzzle purse holds the meanings and folklore behind your flowers. The story there, when it's opened.
Charms will arrive strung on a ribbon or attached to your chosen accessory, along with the option of an Albert swivel clasp. First used on Victorian watch chains, it allows your charm to move between chain and bracelet, a small detail that makes a big difference.
Floriography, also known as the language of flowers, is the practice of attributing meanings and symbolism to flowers and has been recorded in traditional cultures around the world for thousands of years.
