The Celtic Cross

Celtic Cross

The sterling silver Celtic cross is a part of Irish jewelry, Celtic jewelry, Christian jewelry, religious jewelry and cross jewelry.

The Celtic cross not only belongs to so many genres, but it comes in so many different styles as this blog will attest to.

The next three Celtic crosses are part of a sub-genre of the Celtic cross. They are all essentially the same with one exception and that exception is what lies in the middle of the Celtic circle at the intersection of the Celtic Cross. Two of them have different types of Trinity knots and the third has a a Celtic Triskelle making it a women's Celtic cross.

The Celtic cross meaning is important to understand if you want to know the meanings of the symbolism. If you just like the look of Celtic crosses then the Celtic cross meaning isn't important. The main symbol of the Celtic cross is the Celtic circle in the center of the cross.

The Celtic circle is almost always a part of the Celtic cross but the Celtic cross just above shows the exception to the rule. It is clearly a Celtic cross with Celtic weaves and trinity knots but no Celtic circle.

The Irish cross is included in with the Celtic crosses because most of the time the Irish cross or the Celtic cross have overlapping knots and symbols.
