Irish Heritage
The original Tara Brooch dates to the early 8th century and is one of the masterpieces of early medieval Irish metalwork. Despite its name, it was not actually discovered at the Hill of Tara. It was found in 1850 near Bettystown, County Meath.
The brooch is exceptionally elaborate, featuring intricate interlacing, animal motifs, geometric patterns, and delicate metalwork. Its extraordinary craftsmanship reflects the artistic achievements of early medieval Ireland.
The name “Tara Brooch” was adopted after its discovery because of the famous association of Tara with Ireland's ancient kings. Today, the original is held by the National Museum of Ireland and remains one of the country's most important examples of Celtic metalwork.
Solvar's design draws inspiration from this remarkable piece of Irish heritage, allowing its distinctive beauty to be enjoyed as wearable jewelry.
