Ireland inspired Jewelry by Deirdre Donnelly

Deirdre Donnelly creates jewelry that is shaped by the cultural images and influences of her Irish heritage. Her Rock Collection, my favorite, is inspired by the rock carvings found in the ancient Megalithic Passage Tombs (circa 3200 B.C.) in Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth, Ireland. Donnelly's passion is bringing the ancient carvings to life in her jewelry. The Archaic Astronomer's Words Cuff and Circle of Life Pendant are both handcrafted in patinaed silver and 24k gold. I discovered Donnelly on the Designing Divas Jewelry and Fashion Blog.
