Peggy Pendant

Satisfyingly weighty, the Peggy pendant is a solid round form that has been crafted by hand and hangs, perfectly centered on an 18-inch anchor chain. Available in a choice of solid silver, gold plated silver or solid 9ct gold, the Peggy is always a popular choice for those gifting our jewellery. 

This necklace is named after Peggy McDonagh, who was an Aran knitter from Inis Mór and was part of Muriel Gahan's cooperative movement of the 1930's. 

The pendant measures 13mm in diameter x 5mm in depth. It hangs on an 18inch anchor chain. 

Names Jewellery began as a side project for the founders of Irish Design Shop; Clare and Laura. It has grown to be an integral part of the business, branching into an independent studio space on neighboring Exchequer Street. Each piece of jewellery, crafted by hand, is named after a woman who inspires Clare and Laura, be they family members, disrupters, or fellow makers.

Each necklace made in silver and 9 ct gold is hallmarked in the Dublin Assay office, located a short stroll from our workshop in historic Dublin Castle. The stamps include our unique makers mark of CGD followed by the unique Dublin marks.

Each piece of jewellery is crafted by hand in our neighbouring workshop. We carefully source our raw materials from respected suppliers here in Dublin and use all recycled silver and gold. All waste material generated in the making process goes back to our supplier as scrap metal. Each batch of finished jewellery is hand delivered to our Drury Street shop.
