Hand-carved using the lost-wax method, then cast in Sterling Silver or 14-22KT Gold, the Claddagh Coin Pendant is filed down in 4 stages, with delicate care to retain the soft, rolling, slightly even round shape, emulating an old coin that has survived the ages, much like the romantic story of The Claddagh. Mirroring the concept of many of the pieces in the StickyBackBailey Collection, The Claddagh Coin Pendant represents the resilient beauty of those objects, places and people who have experienced the test of time. Our favorite part of wearing the Claddagh Coin Pendant is that over time, as you wear it, it develops a natural patina and becomes even more defined and striking!
