S
t. Patrick’s Day, which takes place on March 17 each year, is technically a celebration of Ireland’s patron saint who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. But one needn’t be Irish to get into the spirit of the holiday and embrace the spirit of the day! Ripe with symbolism, fine jewelry designers are more adept than most at creating pieces that celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. With the ability to utilize countless green gemstones in a variety of hues, like emerald, malachite, peridot, tourmaline, sapphires, fancy color diamonds, sunstone and even “pistachio” pearls, as well as colorful enamel and symbols of good fortune, designer fine jewelry that pays homage to St. Patrick’s Day is equally beautiful throughout the year and, in most cases, for generations to come.
