Sterling Silver Ogham Name Tag PendantMade in Ireland.Ogham jewelry is extremely popular in Ireland and dates back many centuries. It is the first known written alphabet and originally used on stones and boulders with a persons name etched into the stone, It was used to commemorate the passing of a loved one into the next world.
When carved on stones the first letter was at the base and the inscription read from the bottom up. Ogham is occasionally called the 'Celtic Tree alphabet' as many of the letters of Ogham refer to trees. This practice was used for over 500 years. This tradition has been passed down from one generation to the next. Today these Ogham Ingots are generally worn by the living, rather than the passing of a soul. A very popular idea is to have your name or a loved one's name engraved on the Ingot. Each line represents a letter of the old Irish alphabet. With such interesting history,it comes as no surprise as to why so many Irish people wear this superb piece of jewelry. Every Ingot is unique as every name is different.
Made of solid Sterling Silver, this pendant would make the perfect gift for Lades or Men.
