18k Cross of Cong pendant.
The Cross of Cong was a highlight of craftsmanship from Medieval Ireland, a time when Ireland was run by Kings and religious artefacts were prized and revered.  When a tiny piece of the True Cross arrived in Ireland in 1123, the Cross of Cong was designed and created to enshrine it.  The Cross of Cong was produced at a monastery in Roscommon Town and presented to Turlough O Connor, the High King of Ireland.  More information on this comes enclosed  with a Cross of Cong leaflet.
