Arda Celtic Shield Band with Rare Irish Gold Boss. Made with sustainable Irish gold mined and crafted in Ireland.

Irish Heritage

The Ardagh Chalice is one of the greatest treasures of the early Irish Church. It is part of a hoard of objects found in the 19th century by a young man digging for potatoes near Ardagh, Co. Limerick. Used for dispensing Eucharistic wine during the celebration of Mass. The form of the chalice recalls late Roman tableware, but the method of construction is Irish.

Celtic Shield Band

Arda Celtic Shield Band with Rare Irish Gold Boss.

The Ardagh Chalice is one of the greatest treasures of the early Irish Church. It is part of a hoard of objects found in the 19th century by a young man digging for potatoes near Ardagh, Co. Limerick. It was used for dispensing Eucharistic wine during the celebration of Mass. The form of the chalice recalls late Roman tableware, but the method of construction is Irish.

The bowl and foot of the chalice are made of spun silver. The bowl’s outer side is decorated with applied gold, silver, glass, amber and enamel ornament. The underside of the foot is also highly decorated and contains a polished rock crystal at the centre.

The bowl is attached to the stem and foot by a bronze pin. The names of eleven apostles and St. Paul are inscribed below the gold filigree band and studs encircling the bowl. The letters are seen against a stippled background. Incised animal decoration can also be seen below two handle escutcheons, decorated with elaborate glass studs and filigree panels.

The Ardagh Chalice represents a high point in early medieval craftsmanship. It is housed in the National Museum of Ireland for everyone to marvel and enjoy.

The intricate design around the Ardagh Chalice is the design inspiration for the House of Lor ARDA Collection.

Customer's love

Ordered the tree of life pendant

Ordered the tree of life pendant. Arrived really quickly. Absolutely love it, it is beautiful. Only slight criticism is the chain. The catch was really stiff to use at first and a feel it is a bit flimsy.

Elizabeth Johnson

Our experience with service was…excellent

Our experience with service was excellent start to finish. We had no problems but part of that is because they know what they’re doing and they do it well. We got prompt and regular responses and updates and everything was efficient and well managed!

Fantastic dealings with House of Lor.

Vicki was very attentive answering messages outside of working hours. My ring was ordered and very quickly delivered. The packing is second to none, beautifully presented. I love the fact I have some Irish gold and there is a Cert of Authenticity to prove this. Highly recommend shopping here, I know I will be a return customer. Thank you for my most beautiful ring.

Thank you, House of Lor, for my beautiful earrings ❤

They arrived much faster than I was expecting (I’m in Australia) & the packaging was so beautiful that I photographed every stage of the unwrapping process. Having a small part of Ireland is my way of paying tribute to my 4x great grandmother, who was transported here during the famine & House of Lor made the process so easy for me. Thank you so much for your beautiful products & prompt, friendly customer service.

Quality!

I purchased the White Gold Shamrock Band. More stunning in reality than in the picture! I am so pleased with it. I love it! So different from any other jewellery I came across when looking for a shamrock ring after days of trawling the sites on the internet. I am so lucky to have found it! I received a first class customer service from start to finish! Forwarding me a 10% voucher when I did not receive it automatically and chasing the delivery company when my item appeared “stuck” upon entry into the UK! Cannot praise House of Lor enough as they went above and beyond from purchase to delivery. Always at the end of an email to resolve any issues for me. I would definitely recommend House of L’Or and I will definitely be purchasing from them again in the future. Well worth the five stars! Thank you. Alison

Everything I could’ve wanted in one piece of jewellery

The bracelet was perfect. Love everything about it and my dealing with House of Lor. From the beautiful presentation, the certificate of authenticity, the Irish mined gold, the intricate pattern from the Ardagh Chalice to the Hibernia hallmark – tis truly a piece of Ireland that I’ll treasure and wear with pride. Couldn’t have asked for more. Just perfect!
