Description: A unique piece of handcrafted Irish jewellery inspired by Irish dancing, family history and folklore.
The Irish Dancing Baby pendant was inspired by a letter my late father, Donal Clarke, wrote while at school in 1937. In the letter, he described how to make a homemade toy called “The Irish Dancing Master.” This childhood memory became the inspiration for this playful dancing figure, bringing together Irish history, family memories and my love of traditional Irish folklore.
Handcrafted in sterling silver in my workshop in Co. Tipperary, the pendant features vibrant London blue topaz and yellow citrine gemstones, adding colour and sparkle to the dancing figure.
It is a distinctive piece of Irish-made jewellery for anyone who loves Irish culture, dancing, folklore or jewellery with a story behind it.

What can I say, this is one of my favourite pieces of jewellery that I own. It’s admired by everyone and I rarely take it off, unless I’m wearing another piece from Eileen’s collection. I absolutely love Eileen’s designs and the fact she is so amazing to deal with beings me back again and again.
