The Trinity and Shamrock Earrings unite two very popular Irish symbols, as well as two beautifully paired metals. Over the years, the meaning of the trinity knot has been given many different interpretations. The symbol of everlasting love (thanks to its “eternal” knotwork), or the connection between present, past, and future are merely a couple. […]

The beautiful Trinity Knot earrings in Sterling Silver are embellished with crystals. Like all ShanOre jewelry, they were hallmarked at Dublin Castle and made in Ireland to insure their authenticity.

 

My entrepreneurial journey began at age 11 in my mother's dress shop in Northern Ireland. After moving to America following a field hockey romance in 1978, I was working as a Civil Engineer in Pennsylvania. When my Dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness, I realized how difficult it was to squeeze in trips back home. Dad's illness became the catalyst for starting a business that would allow me to travel home routinely.

In February 1985, Donegal Square was born—a cultural bridge inspired by my Irish upbringing. Over the decades, my wife Linda and I have developed the shop and helped establish the Celtic Cultural Alliance and Celtic Classic Festival. Today, we've created a warm haven where visitors are "instantly transported across the Atlantic to Ireland...no passport required," offering authentic Celtic gifts in an atmosphere that feels like visiting the old country with friends.
