Celtic Cross Pendants

What is the difference between Celtic Cross Pendants and Cross Pendants?
Most Cross pendants are non denominational and Celtic cross pendants are genrally non denominational. They both are used extensively in Christian jewelry.
The basic difference without going into the history of the celtic cross design. The Celtic Cross pendant is the same as a traditional cross pendant with one exception, a Celtic Cross pendant usually has a form of a circle at the intersection of the two lines in a cross. Sometimes celtic crosses or so call because they are decoratied with Celtic knot work but primarily it is the circle that sets them apart from the tradition Christian cross pendant.
