| Celtic Knot Jewelry for all occasions ... |
|
 The Celtic Knot is one of the best known motifs in Celtic jewelry. The delicate twists and turns are found in ancient stone art and tattoos. In fact, just about anywhere the Celtic people have traveled. While many of the ancient designs certainly had some spiritually significant meaning, these have been lost to the ages. |
|
 Colorado's famed artist Rick Sindeband has been working with Celtic Knot Pendant designs for years, and the result is some of the most stunning handmade celtic jewelry to come out of any shop. Whether you are of Irish ancestry or simply love the endless weave of these elegant designs, these Celtic Pendants rarely disappoint. Dont be fooled by mass produced castings that abound the marketplace. These are handmade pieces from start to finish. |
|
 The continual looping of the designs suggests themes of eternity and interconnectedness, and knots may have been made at one time to foil evil spirits. Interwoven figures of people and animals may have represented the interdependent nature of life. |
|
 A general rule of thumb is: the shape of the design often determines the meaning of the Celtic Symbol Jewelry- triskele and trefoil shapes should be regarded as triskeles, bird, fish, and animal designs represent the attributes of the animal, etc. Circles represent unity or eternity, spirals reincarnation or cycles of life andrebirth, triangles and trefoils the threefold dominions of earth, sea, and sky. Squares or four-fold shapes are shield knots, symbols of protection from spirits or malevolent influence. Interlaced animals and men usually represent relationships, or emphasize the interdependence of mankind and nature. |
