Celtic Knot Jewelry

Celtic Knot Jewelry

Sterling silver Celtic knot jewelry is a collection of Celtic jewelry the emphasis's the Celtic knot side of Celtic jewelry. In this case, the kind of Celtic knot jewelry we're looking at is the Celtic knot pendants.



Celtic pendants run in countless shapes and styles and when you add the Celtic knot pendant to the mix it expands the collection a lot. If we wanted to review all the Celtic knot pendants it would take a book to do the trick.



What we can do is break down the Celtic knot pendants into Celtic love knots and Celtic eternity knots, there's a lot of Celtic love knots and eternity knots. But we can do a good review of a few of them.



Let's start with the Celtic love knots which come in many styles. The Celtic love knots come fashioned as a Celtic heart which means love and there are special Celtic knots that are two knots woven into one Celtic knot. In a Celtic love knot the symbol is each knot represents a person and the knot that ties them together is symbolic of the love that unites a man and a women.



The last two pictures are perfect examples of a Celtic love knot.

Here's a good example of a Celtic heart knot pendant:


Now lets take a look at Celtic eternity knots. What makes a Celtic eternity knot different from atypical Celtic knot is that with the Celtic eternity knot the lines that are woven together with has no beginning or end. Similar to the symbolism of the circle. Except the lines weaves back and forth making a nice geometric design. The line never has a beginning or ending point.



Based on the technical definition of a Celtic eternity knot, Celtic pendants shown above are eternity knots because the lines that make the Celtic knot has no beginning or end.
