HISTORY OF CELTIC JEWELRY and IRISH and SCOTTISH JEWELRY

Because the culture of the Celts lasted hundreds of years and preceded the cultures of the Irish and the Scots, it's only natural to see a great influence in style with Scottish and Irish jewelry.

The Celtic culture didn't have a written language so the meanings of Celtic jewelry symbols used in Celtic jewelry is unsure.

Anthropologists have determined further that the meanings of some symbols had meanings that changed from one time period to another. Because the Irish and Scottish jewelry comes from a culture with a written language we can understand their meanings very well.

Another thing to keep in mind that most Celtic jewelry designs are "knot" styled. As the popularity of the designs increase and due to the lack of true definitions of the symbols, many jewelry makers use their creative imagination and create Celtic jewelry style pieces that are new. Some designers give it a definition and others don't. This is both good and bad.

For some they want to know with accuracy what a certain design means while others make up meanings that suit the style of the design. So for an accurate name of a Celtic jewelry pendant it's not so good but having the flexibility to adapt that Celtic design to your needs is good.

There are a few tried and tested definitions for some Celtic jewelry designs that are widely accepted.
