Delve into the captivating realm of our sister brand, Children of Lir’s Sterling Silver Collection, a treasured assortment with a legacy of over 25 years, blending craftsmanship and storytelling. This collection, showcasing intricately crafted ‘Swan’ pieces, pays homage to the evocative Irish legend of the Children of Lir.The tale unfolds with Lir, his wife Aobh, and their four children, weaving a narrative of love, jealousy, and enduring transformation. Following Aobh’s passing, Lir remarries Aoife, who initially adores the children but succumbs to jealousy, casting a spell that metamorphoses them into four white swans at Lake Derravarragh in County Westmeath.Enduring the elements for four centuries, the enchanted swans navigated the Sea of Moyle between Ireland and Scotland and later settled in Erris, County Mayo. Their once vibrant existence turned into a saga of cold and misery, capturing the essence of Irish folklore.Their final sojourn led them to Sídh Fionnachaidh in County Armagh, discovering their old home desolate and solitary. A meeting with the compassionate Christian Missionary, St. Mochaomhóg, in Erris marked a turning point as the swans were treated with kindness and warmth.Ultimately, the enchantment dissipated, transforming the swans into three withered old men and an old woman. St. Mochaomhóg baptised them, and they peacefully passed away, finding their eternal rest together. The Children of Lir Sterling Silver Collection beautifully encapsulates this timeless tale, inviting you to adorn yourself with pieces that embody not just artistic elegance but also the enduring spirit of Irish mythology.
