Cead Mile Failte ! A hundred thousand welcomes! This is our new line of Myths and Legends Storybook jewellery. The story of the Children of Lir is one of the most famous and resonant of all Irish fairy stories. There are several versions but they all contain the same core elements. Lir has four children with his beloved wife Ove.

When she dies, Lir marries her sister Oifa. Oifa becomes jealous of the children and orders a servant to kill them, but he refuses. Oifa tries to kill them herself but doesn’t have the strength or the courage. Instead, she uses magic to turn the children into swans. She then begins to feel guilty and allows the children to retain the ability to speak, and to make the most beautiful music. Created by our Irish Artists . A McMahon's Irish Cottage exclusive.
