Irish Necklaces

The Irish necklace is as diverse as Irish jewelry is. Look at this Irish necklace:

 

Now look at this Irish necklace:

 

Look at those examples of Irish necklaces and then look at this additional necklace which falls squarely into the Irish necklace genre.

 

 

 

Irish necklaces and Irish jewelry are great types of jewelry and very similar to Celtic jewelry.

 

Sterling Silver Trinity Knot Necklace

Sterling Silver Trinity Knot Necklace

Much of the fun of Celtic jewelry is the immense symbolism and trying to understand it all. Another great point about Celtic jewelry is that it just looks good! No matter the symbolism or actual meaning of a Celtic symbol or Celtic knot, Celtic jewelry is awesome and looks terrific.  No wonder Celtic jewelry is the single biggest theme based jewelry.

 

 

 

As a genre, Celtic jewelry is more popular than religious jewelry and Christian jewelry, two of the most popular theme based jewelry genres world wide.  Not to mention, there is some overlap between Celtic jewelry and religious and Christian jewelry.

 

 

 

The sterling silver trinity knot necklace is one such lap over. The Celtic version of the trinity necklace is called a triquetra necklace. We will focus on the trinity necklace and the Christian version of the Trinity knot.

 

 

 

The trinity knot represents the Christian Holy Trinity. As you can see by some of these sample photographs of the Trinity necklace, each trinity pendant has three corners and/or three sides. Each of those corners or sides represent a member of the Trinity.

 

 

Looking at all these sterling silver trinity necklaces you can see there are some big differences in design  of the trinity knot but they all have the three corners and three sides.

 

Theses trinity necklaces all look great and demonstrate a great example of cross over jewelry between Celtic jewelry and religious jewelry or Christian jewelry.  I love all these great examples of the trinity knot necklace but the one I wear currently is the trinity necklace below.

 

 

Celtic Cross Jewelry

Celtic Cross Jewelry

 

Celtic cross jewelry is a sub-genre to Celtic jewelry and a sub-genre to cross jewelry and Christian jewelry. Celtic cross jewelry is a very popular type of jewelry that brings element of Celtic symbolism to the Christian symbolism of the cross necklace. But the Celtic symbolism also adds to Christian symbolism. We'll look into that as we dig further into Celtic cross jewelry.

 

 

Celtic crosses are very versatile because the Celtic symbols make them decorative and they make them extra symbolic to Christians. They can be used as Celtic cross earrings, Celtic cross rings, and Celtic cross necklaces. Celtic crosses are the foundation of Celtic cross jewelry.

 

Of all Celtic jewelry the most popular is Celtic rings and Claddagh rings. The second most popular of all silver Celtic jewelry is Celtic necklaces and a huge part of the Celtic necklaces is the Celtic cross necklace.

 

The sterling silver Celtic cross necklace is just as much at home in the Celtic jewelry genre as it is in the Christian or cross jewelry genre. The Celtic circle popular with most Celtic cross necklaces is a symbol for eternity and the three cornered trinity knot is symbolic for the Holy Trinity. These are excellent Christian symbols to add to the Celtic cross necklace.

 

Celtic Necklaces For Women

Celtic Necklaces For Women

 

Sterling silver Celtic necklaces are such a broad sub-genre of Celtic jewelry that it requires a blog post all of its own. Inside the Celtic necklace group of Celtic jewelry you have many categories. This genre of Celtic necklaces belongs to Celtic necklaces for women.

 

 

 

Celtic necklaces for women are made up of Celtic love knot, Celtic heart knots and Triskele's to name a few. In short Celtic necklaces for women are any type of Celtic necklace that appeals to women.

 

 

 

Celtic necklaces for women fall under Celtic love knot jewelry. Although some Celtic necklaces or women are made with Celtic hearts and other are made with the Celtic love knot.

 

 

 

The Celtic love knot which many Celtic love necklaces are based on are symbolic where two separate knots are woven together to make one knot. This symbolism relates to two hearts falling in love and becoming two hearts that beat as one.

 

 

The sterling silver Celtic love knot necklace is very symbolic and not always as obvious as a Celtic heart necklace but they are engraved on the back and the Celtic knot is always meant to be symbolic.
