Religious Jewelry

Religious Jewelry

Sterling silver religious jewelry is any type of jewelry with a religious theme. Celtic jewelry falls under religious jewelry and to some that may seem far fetched. In this post we will show exactly why Celtic jewelry fits into religious jewelry and it does so in two ways

The Celts were early Irish and Scottish people and originally the Celtic were pagan. A pagan religious maybe offensive to Christians but it is a religious theme which falls under the definition of religious jewelry. Now days Celtic knot jewelry is worn as countless geometric styles. Most wear those Celtic rings and Celtic necklaces as abstract geometric jewelry.

After Christian missionaries started converting the Celtic to Christianity the Christians some some symbols they liked and saw some Christian symbolism in the trinity symbols. A trinity symbol is a Celtic three point knot. Each of the three points was used to represent the Holy Trinity.  The Celtic trinity necklace is popular for Christians and the trinity symbol is used to decorate Churches.

Celtic Cross Necklace

The other religious jewelry to come from Irish Celtic jewelry was the Celtic cross necklace. The Celtic cross was used as grave markers long before Christian missionaries arrived and the Christian missionaries were quick to point out the Celtic symbol had incredible similarities to the christian cross.

Then the Irish three leaf clover was used like the trinity, the three leafed petals were used to teach the Holy Trinity. So in two different ways Celtic knot jewelry is a big part of religious jewelry.
