Celtic Jewelry

Celtic jewelry is unique in its design and highly prized by enthusiasts. Many of the characteristics of these designs can be dated to several centuries B.C. The designs used in this jewelry often had significant spiritual ramifications for the first Celts.

Celtic jewelry is typified by designs that incorporate intricate knots and woven patterns. Knot work in particular was important as it was meant to symbolize the journey through the eternity of life. This is why Celtic rings are often used for wedding ceremonies.

Celtic jewelry often incorporates the Celtic cross into its designs. The Celtic cross symbolizes the intersection of the spiritual world (vertical axis) and the earthly realm (horizontal axis). These crosses are often decorated with symbols meant to represent the sun, or the source of all energy.
