Irish Soft Shoe Charm Sterling Silver | Dance Ghillie | Celtic Jewelry | Made in USA
Irish dancers know the ghillie — the soft-soled shoe worn for reels, slip jigs, and light jigs — as intimately as they know the rhythm of a reel. This .925 sterling silver charm reproduces one in 3D, made in the USA, weighing 2.5 grams and measuring 1" x 3/8", with the distinctive crisscross lacing and flexible sole clearly visible.

A hand-carved wax model begins the process. After investment plaster encases it and burns away, molten silver fills the void. The solid sterling construction gives this charm a satisfying weight that mass-produced hollow imports simply lack — you can feel the difference when it rests in your hand.
Unlike the hard shoe used for trebles and hornpipes, the ghillie is the instrument of grace and elevation in Irish soft-shoe dancing — quiet footwork that emphasizes line, precision, and height off the floor. It is essential equipment for feis competition and studio training alike. A perfect gift for Irish dancers, dance teachers, and anyone with a connection to Celtic culture. Sterling silver jump ring included and attached.
