Celtic Cross

Luxury artisan ornaments created from a source of recycled, sustainable Irish Linen. We use a mixture of vintage, local mill deadstock rolls from one of the last remaining linen mills still active in Ireland today, repurposed antique tablecloths, and off cuts from our own cushion making.
We love our designs and hope you do too- all our embroidered ornaments are fully copyrighted internationally to Katie Larmour.

A Celtic Cross, also called a ‘High Cross’ is identifiable by the halo like ring surrounding the intersection of the arms and stem that make up the classic Latin Cross. It’s usually decorated with intricate Irish interlace carvings. I choose to add some gorgeous swirls that are synonymous with the rest of my pieces. It’s a really popular motif in jewellry and this little piece just sparkles like jewellry for the tree. I was inspired to create this ornament after visiting a huge example of a stone Celtic Cross at Monasterboice in County Louth, Ireland. My father is an architectural historian and I have childhood memories of visiting endless stone High Crosses and other ancient Irish monuments throughout the country on family day trips.
