STERLING SILVER CELTIC JEWELRY
Is it Celtic jewelry or Irish jewelry. Until a few weeks ago I thought there was a difference. and there is but I heard from and person from Ireland who said to them, it's all Irish jewelry. I was talking to this person on a facebook group called Luck of The Irish and Celtic Pride.
It's a group of people from facebook who are either irish, have Irish blood in them or who just like the Irish culture. But in America we don't really see the difference.
But from a historic persepctive the Celts preceded England, Ireland, Scotland and other European contries. Although anciently the Celts were pushed west and finally dug into the area known as the United Kingdom where their culture flourished for centuries.
From a artistic persepctive and cultural persepctive, the Celtic influence left its mark on Irish jewelry and Scottish Thistle Jewelry.
For those who have Irish roots or a strong kinship with Celtic and Irish jewelry you can do what hosts of Irish do when they are preparing to wed. Get ahold of some sterling silver Celtic Engagement rings or Celtic Weddings rings. They have a lot of symbolism that make for wonderful wedding rings. To see what we have in the way of Celtic and irish engagement and wedding rings click here: Celtic Knot Engagement and Wedding Rings. Irish Claddagh Engagement and Wedding Rings.
Let's examine some of the symbolism of Celtic wedding rings or Celtic engagement rings: Trinity knots and eternity knots or weaves. The trinity knots that are on the Celtic rings or any trinity knot has been adopted by Christians becasue it is a triangle shaped knot. Each point of thetriangle knot represents one member of the Holy Trinity. People like that symbol on a Celtic Wedding ring becasue it adds another element ot the symbolism of the wedding ring.
The eternity knot or weave is based on a line interwoven throughout itself. No beginning or end of the knot or weave. Also a popular symbol to add to and Celtic wedding ring.
Let's look at Irish Claddagh symbolism to see what makes them so appealing for wedding ring use or for engagement rings. The Claddagh symbol consists of a Crown, Heart and Hands.
The Crown represents loyality. Heart represents love and the hands represent friendship.
The Irish Cladagh symbol also has a nice little quote that further defines its meaning: "In my hands I hold your heart, crowning it with all my love". We have a great selection Claddagh rings. And we also have Irish Claddagh Charm Necklace Jewelry and Earrings
