An Bradán Feasa - Salmon of Knowledge Pendant Necklace

This beautiful marine pendant steps into the magic of Irish mythology with this exquisite An Bradán Feasa - the Salmon of Knowledge Necklace, to echo the ancient tale of wisdom, transformation, and intuition. This elegant piece features a detailed fish pendant  — a modern tribute to the mystical salmon from the legendary Fenian Cycle in Irish mythology.

In Irish myth, An Bradán Feasa swam in the River Boyne, having gained all the world’s wisdom by eating the sacred hazelnuts that fell into its waters. It was said that whoever first tasted this fish would gain unparalleled knowledge. The story tells of Fionn mac Cumhaill, a young warrior who was sent to live with the poet Finegas, one of the wisest men in Ireland. Finegas had been fishing for An Bradán Feasa for years, and he finally caught it. However, Fionn Mac Cumhaill accidentally tasted the salmon while cooking it — he burnt his finger and put it in his mouth to cool it down, but it was too late and was he instantly gifted with profound insight and foresight.

This necklace captures that spirit of discovery and inner knowing, making it a meaningful talisman for seekers of truth, storytellers, and dreamers alike.

This necklace's base metal is stainless steel with 18k gold plating. The chain is short, and perfect for layering, extending to 45cm.

Whether worn as a daily symbol of insight or a conversation-starting tribute to Irish heritage, this necklace blends story, symbolism, and style in one radiant piece.
