Vintage SOLVAR Irish Claddagh Shamrock Brooch Green Enamel Pin w Box Ireland

Beautiful signed SOLVAR Irish brooch featuring the traditional Claddagh surrounded by a wreath of brilliant emerald-green enamel shamrocks.

The focal design depicts the iconic crowned heart held between two hands, traditionally symbolizing love, loyalty and friendship, while the surrounding shamrocks add another classic symbol of Ireland and good fortune.

The brooch has an elegant silver-tone finish accented with richly colored green enamel hearts and shamrocks. The dimensional openwork design gives the piece wonderful detail and presence without appearing overly heavy.

The reverse is clearly signed SOLVAR ©, confirming the maker. Included is the green presentation box shown in the photographs, decorated with a coordinating Claddagh/Celtic motif.
