CLADDAGH CROSS PENDANT IN 14K YELLOW AND ROSE GOLD

“The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.”—Hubert H. Humphrey

The two hands holding the heart represent friendship. When placed on a cross, they mean friendship with God.

The rose gold Claddagh symbol is polished to a high shine. Match this Celtic claddagh cross with an item from our Celtic Jewelry collection.
