"God grant you always, a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel so nothing can harm you."

The Irish are revered for their lyrical turn of phrase, whether in Gaelic or English. The tradition of Irish Blessings, most of which are of anonymous origin, is one strand of that literary heritage. This blessing, like many Irish blessings, can be traced to “St. Patrick’s Breastplate,” an Irish hymn attributed to St. Patrick which was translated into English in the late 19th century.

Inspired by antique and ancient jewelry inscribed with poetry and words of love, Laurel Elliott creates pieces that celebrate what we wear as a reflection of who we are and where we’ve been. Jewelry molds are made and cut by hand for casting with a technique in use since ancient times.
