The John Christopher Event at The Claddagh Connection

Denise Miller, owner of The Claddagh Connection, invited customers to meet John Christopher Condron, a renowned Irish jewelry designer, during his recent US tour.

For more than 20 years, Condron was head of his own jewelry firm, Fado, whose popular designs reflect familiar Irish legends and locations. (Fado means "long ago.") He remains particularly influenced by the traditional techniques of Irish jewelry-making, developed by Medieval goldsmiths in the Sixth and Seventh Centuries.

He launched the John Christopher Collection to showcase his sophisticated designs related to nature and the arts, interpreted in gold, diamonds, and gemstones.
