The Beauty of Celtic Jewelry
 |
The ancient Celtic people are famous to this day because of their incredible style of jewelry and ornamentation. The centerpiece of Celtic jewelry is the Celtic knot, which has no beginning and no end. This type of ornamental knotwork was found adorning ancient manuscripts and monuments, often in the form of the Celtic cross. To this day, Celtic jewelry is a beloved and popular style of jewelry worn by people all over the world.
The Celtic cross is often worn as a pendant on a chain or silk cord. The Celtic cross features the trademark knotwork, and although it looks similar in structure to the traditional Christian cross, it sports a circle surrounding the intersection. Celtic crosses can be crafted from a variety of materials, although silver is often a popular choice.
Then there's the claddagh. This ring can either be a symbol of friendship or love. It features two hands holding a heart with a crown on top. The hands represent friendship, the crown represents loyalty, and the heart represents love. Often, the way the ring is worn designates the romantic status of the wearer. If the ring is worn on the right hand with the heart pointing to the hand, it means the wearer is in a relationship. If the ring is worn on the right hand with the heart pointing away from the hand, it means the wearer is available. Wearing the claddagh on the left hand designates either engagement or marriage. Claddaghs are normally crafted from silver or gold. Sometimes, they can feature gemstones as well.
Another popular type of Celtic jewelry is the ingot. The ingot is a rectangular shaped pendant usually made from silver or gold which bears engraved symbols. Then there are pieces of jewelry shaped like shamrocks, Irish dance shoes, Irish harps, and Gaelic coins. The beauty of Celtic jewelry is not only in its attractive appearance, but in the fact that everything has a deep and often spiritual meaning.
