Celtic Cross Meaning

Celtic Cross Meaning

 

The Celtic cross is a cross used in sterling silver Christian or silver cross jewelry.  It is considered a special type of cross because it looks different yet still looks like a cross. It has many different Christian symbols with a Celtic influence. The Celtic cross meaning is deep and rich. I'll do my best to show a wide range of examples of the various Celtic cross meanings and examples of them in Celtic cross jewelry.

 

 

Typically, the main difference between a Celtic cross necklace and a traditional cross necklace is the Celtic circle at the intersection of the cross. The Celtic cross meaning for the Celtic circle is eternity.  It's a perfect symbol to add to a Christian cross.

 

Irish Cross Necklace

What is the difference between a Celtic cross necklace and a Irish cross necklace?  The answer is relative. What I mean by that is that it depends on who you ask the question to.  If you ask an Irish man that question he will say they are all Irish cross necklaces. The Celtic artistic influence was handed down to the Irish as the Celts preceded the Irish historically. But since their are no Celts any longer and the heritage of the Celts mainly goes through the Irish, Scottish or English then it makes sense to call a Celtic cross necklace an Irish cross necklace.

 

 

 

Here in America we tend to be more specific. Here is a good example of how we define the cross necklaces. The first cross necklace shown is all Celtic symbols. Look at the second picture. With the addition of a Irish shamrock or clover it becomes an Irish cross necklace.

 

The Celtic cross has Celtic knots like the trinity knot and eternity knot that both have significant meaning in the Christian world.

 

The Celtic cross necklace is traditionally associated with a circle and other iconic Celtic symbols. But a Celtic cross necklace can also be a Celtic cross necklace without a circle. The only thing that makes a cross necklace a Celtic or Irish cross necklace is some kind of Celtic or Irish symbol. Look at the following Celtic cross necklace example.

 

 

The Celtic cross necklace just above without the circle is a Celtic weave that connects the trinity knots on each end cap. The Celtic cross necklace just below is a cross inside the circle and one of the most old school authentic Celtic cross necklaces.

 

Celtic cross jewelry comes in all types of jewelry.  The Celtic and Irish cross necklaces are the most popular type of Celtic cross jewelry.
