Highly Simbolic And Detailed Celtic Jewellery

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

The Celts were an ancient race dominating Europe during the Iron Age, after migrating across the continent from south to north, and finally settling in Ireland, Britain, Brittany and Galicia, sharing common languages, traditions and customs denominated Celtic. Over time, the term would help to describe the particular art of Celtic jewellery.This art is characterized by knot work and spirals inspired by ancient patterns. The most common of the Celtic symbols is the cross. According to Irish legend, St. Patrick created the first Celtic cross by drawing a circle over a Latin cross. Some say the four “arms” of the Celtic Cross represent the elements (fire, earth, air, and water). Others believe the cross denotes the four directions of the compass, and still others feel it is a representation of human existence - mind, body, soul and heart. However, there are many other motifs for you to choose.

Today, more and more couples use Celtic rings to declare their promise to make a new life together. They are attracted to the Celtic engagement ring art due to its elaborately knotted designs where the knots do not have any beginning as well as no end. The same knots can also be found in Celtic bracelets.

Like the Celts themselves, Celtic jewellery has a rich history and a proud tradition.
As highly symbolic and detailed jewellery, Celtic jewelleries are a great choice for you who want to look fashionable.
