ABOUT
The stone guard of Newgrange, Irish Neolithic stele necklace in silver
The necklace "The stone guard of Newgrange" evokes the millennia-old heritage of prehistoric Ireland with timeless elegance. This silver jewel captures the mystical essence of the archaeological site of Newgrange, where Neolithic remnants bear witness to ancient ingenuity and the deep connection between man and nature, with a tumulus dating back to 3200 BCE. Access to its burial chamber is through a long corridor whose orientation aligns precisely with the winter solstice sunrise, allowing sunlight to penetrate it for 15 minutes in the morning.
At the heart of this necklace lies a meticulously sculpted replica of a Neolithic standing stone, reminiscent of the enigmatic megaliths that have watched over the tumulus for over five millennia. This ancestral stone, placed at the entrance of the tumulus and marked with enigmatic spirals and triskels, is the silent witness to the beliefs and rituals of our distant ancestors. Their exact meaning remains shrouded in mystery, but they are often associated with symbols of life, fertility, or cosmic and natural cycles. Water, wind, or serpents are often evoked as symbols. Newgrange is also linked to the calendar established during the Neolithic period, as humans began to domesticate plants. Its position at the winter solstice is a clue. The double spiral would be an ancient symbol used to represent the course of the sun and/or lightning.
The precision of the reproduction of these Neolithic motifs on the necklace reflects a deep respect for the art and culture of ancient peoples. Each spiral, each triskelion, tells a forgotten story, a link between the past and the present, between man and the land of his birth.
Wearing this necklace is to appropriate a part of Celtic history and spirituality, to celebrate the richness and complexity of the Neolithic civilization that shaped the foundations of modern society. It is also to relive the wonder of the first humans before the mysteries of the universe, before the dance of the sun through the cycles of the year.
Whether you are passionate about archaeology, enthusiastic about Celtic culture, or simply drawn to the timeless beauty of meaningful jewelry, this pendant will be much more than a mere accessory. It will be your talisman, your link to the mysteries of history and ancient wisdom, accompanying you on your own journey through time and space.
