Buy Shamrock Beads Online

Shamrock beads are a great way to show your Irish pride on St. Patrick's Day or throughout the year.

Shamrock beads range from beautifully crafted glass beads with gold trimmings that are intended to be handed down as keepsakes from generation to generation, to inexpensive plastic beads perfect for St. Patrick's Day parties and other events.

One of the most common uses of shamrock beads is as rosary beads. Shamrock rosaries make perfect St. Patrick's Day or confirmation gifts for Irish Catholics.

Shamrock bead rosaries typically incorporate glass shamrock beads with a Celtic cross in gold or silver. Some also incorporate the Claddagh symbol: two hands clasping a heart beneath a crown. The Claddagh design symbolizes love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown), and is often given with the meaning "With my two hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my loyalty."

Shamrock rosaries are available as pocket rosaries, rosary bracelets, and rosary necklaces.

The other common use for shamrock beads is simply as party beads, similar to Mardi Gras beads.

St. Patrick's Day party beads are typically plastic with a glossy finish and are usually necklaces. They are generally available in bulk. Some include pendants or other novelty features.
