History of the Celtic Harp

The cláirseach, or harp, is the national emblem of Ireland, appearing on flags, passports, and currency. It was an instrument of the elite in Ireland and Scotland, requiring years of practice to master, with strings made of metal that had to be constantly dampened due to their long resonance. Though it may have existed as far back as the 11th Century, its position as a symbol of Ireland and Celtic culture earned it the enmity of the English authorities in the late medieval period, who eventually banned it entirely - only a handful of harps from before this period have survived to this day. However in recent years the harp has had a cultural revival (with new musicians typically favoring small models), both as an instrument and as a symbol of Irish identity.

I have purchased a good many double sided crosses from you,,as you know.. both in gold and sterling and they all do not disappoint... I love wearing them and it keeps me connected with my faith and Irish roots.. You have always attempted to advise me on which ones would be the good for my " collection" ...Thank you... I consider them "wearable investments" and hope my Grandchildren will love them as well as myself... Cannot wait to select another ....Quality and helft are what made me choode yours.. So many others I have looked at are single sided and light weight.,, I tend to be hard on jewelry so I need sturdy materials..THank you very much ..DO not change your standards Dara Lehans
