The harp is the official emblem of Ireland, unique among nations in representing itself through a musical instrument. It is one of the oldest instruments in Irish tradition, with roots stretching back to medieval times, where it was closely associated with poets, storytellers and court musicians.
Renowned for its beauty and subtlety, the harp produces a rich and expressive sound. The 12th-century scholar Giraldus Cambrensis remarked that the skill of Irish harpers lay in the effortless grace of their playing, where the complexity of the music was often concealed beneath its elegance.
This special edition Harp Pendant, engraved with 1916, was commissioned to mark the centenary of the Easter Rising. Created for the GPO, a site central to this defining moment in Irish history, the piece connects Ireland’s cultural heritage with its journey toward independence.
Inspired by this enduring symbol, the design combines the form of the harp with the significance of the 1916 engraving, representing continuity, identity and national pride. Crafted in silver, it reflects both tradition and remembrance.
Symbolising heritage, resilience and connection, this piece honours Ireland’s past while celebrating its cultural legacy.
This piece is part of the Seisiún collection, inspired by traditional Irish music and culture.
