A special limited edition, handmade lapel, designed to celebrate Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce’s 60th birthday, has been unveiled.

The lapel has been designed and crafted by McCullagh’s Jewellers in Letterkenny.

It’s beautifully crafted and features an image of the Polestar monument and the words ‘Letterkenny Chamber’.

The lapel, which comes in a unique jewellery box, was unveiled at the Chamber’s 60th birthday celebrations in Castle Grove Country House last Thursday night.

And in a lovely touch, a lapel was presented to each of the former Presidents of the Chamber who were present on the night.

It was something special that Chamber President, Jimmy Stafford wanted to do to mark the anniversary.

Along with the team at McCullagh’s Jewellers, they discussed the idea of producing a limited edition piece that would represent the chamber and the town.

“It’s a beautiful piece, and we’re thrilled with how it has turned out,” Jimmy said.

“We just wanted to do something a little different to mark our 60th anniversary and this has worked out so well.”
