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.
This Cross Pendant shown above is a Celtic Cross Pendant

This cross pendant shown above is an example of a decorative traditional cross pendant.


Peace Sign Jewelry

Fine Sterling Silver Peace Sign Jewelry

There is more than one way to use the Peace Sign symbol in jewelry. Traditionally peace sign jewelry has been used to promote peace or something along those lines. With the peace sign cast in fine sterling silver your peace sign jewelry can be worn anywhere, anytime.


I would like to introduce a different and perhap new approach to the Peace sign necklace. We're not suggesting a replacement of its meaning just adding to a powerful icon.


There is a place where you can get Positive Affirmation Jewelry and Charms that coincide with positive affirmations of quotes. These affirmation charms have a word inscribed on both sides of the charm. This word is usually a power word that help you with a visual reminder of a special virute you want to think about or work on or remember.

If your working on affirmations then they could help you with them. Directly below is an affirmation necklace that has a sterling silver love affirmation on a black leather necklace. This Love affirmation chamr could be used to remember such affirmations as:

A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of love and dreams. (Unknown)


Where there is love there is life. (Ghandi)


When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. (Dalai Lama)


Where love is, there God is also. (Ghandi)





PEACE SIGN JEWELRY

Here is a list of Peace Sign Jewelry that can be used much the same way. There are a lot of affirmations and quotes that a peace sign necklace or a pair of peace sign earrings would help you remember.

This traditional Peace Sign Necklace is a good way to bring to mind not only traditional peace issues but peace affirmations and quotes.





















This picture shown above is a classic Peace Sign Necklace that combines a peace sign with an affirmation jewelry pendant.

Dog Jewelry and Charms For People

STERLING SILVER DOG JEWELRY AND DOG CHARMS FOR PEOPLEFor 1000's of years mankind has had a special relationship with the dog. Perhaps one of the first animals domesticated by man, the dog has been along side man almost from the beginning.
Recently, society's relationship with the dog has reached new levels. Once online jewelers just advertised Dog Charms or Dog Jewelry. Things are now at the point of online jewelers to specifiy dog jewelry for people or dog jewelry for dogs.

While it is obvious that dog jewelry earrings are for people as well as dog jewelry necklaces, dog charms and pendants on the other hand can go both ways. A person could use dog jewelry charms for a bracelet or necklace but they could also hang a dog charm on a dog collar and they do!
That surely is a new manifestation of mans love for their fury four footed companion.


This dog jewelry necklace has a sterling silver necklace chain and a cute 3D dog charm with a heart on it's side. You can barely make out that there is writing inscribed on that heart butthere is and it is readable in person. I says "I love you". This dog charm perhaps more than any other celebrates one of the greatest characteristics of the dog, their love for their master.



This 3D dog charm has a dog lying in their dog house. The detail is amazing.




Theur are songs about the dog bone. Their are chew toys in the traditional shape of a dog bone. I'm surpised the dog bone is trademarked. I've never seen a dog chew on a bone that looks like this unless it's a dog treat or chew toy. But nevertheless it is a popular symbol used by dog owner to celebrate that aspect of the dog.
It seems that almost anything the dog does is funny or amusing to watch. Watching a dog naw on a dog bone that came from a doggy bag brought home by the master is fun to watch. The next day you have to wonder how they cleaned off the dog bone so well.



This dog sitting in a rocking chair shows how content a dog can be laying around and watch the world go by. One second later and one little movement or sound catches the dogs attention and they are on the trail of a new adventure.




This 3D dog bone in a dog bowl displays another trait of the dog, eating. Some dogs will eat anywhere anytime.








WWW.SilverAnimals.com has a huge collection of Dog Jewelry broken down to Dog charms that celebrate the quirky characteristics of the dogs personality. There is also a page that has a growing listing of pure breed dog charms. They also have a Dog Jewelry necklace collection. I know of no other website that has this large of a dog jewelry collection of sterling silver dog jewelry, charms and necklaces.


















Claddagh Rings, Celtic Wedding Bands

The Irish Claddagh Rings go by many names, one of the most common names in Celtic Wedding Band or Irish Rings. The are also refered to as a friendship ring. The reason for so many different names is because of the symbolism associated with these rings.
The Claddagh (Claddaugh) symbol represents three symbols. The heart means love. The hands mean friendship and the Crown mean loyalty. Love, Friendship and Loyality are three virtues upon which relationsships are founded.
That's why this Claddagh Ring goes by some many names. These virtues are a sure foundation for marriage hence the name Celtic Wedding Band. Friendship thrives with these frtues so it is used as a freindship or promise ring.
This symbolic Irish ring is worn solo by many people because the appreciate these virtues in daily living. An interesting note, many of those who wear the ring solo will wear it with the heart pointing away from them meaning their heart is available. Others wear the heart tip point towards them meaning their heart is taken in the case of a Claddagh Wedding band or promise ring.

Their is a lot of Celtic symbol mixed in with the Claddaugh ring either directl as in the two Claddagh ring pictures shown above and below. The one above replaces the hands with a Celtic Trinity knot. The Irish Ring below add the Celtic trinity knot along with the hands (my favorite).


The Irish are associated with green and this Irish claddagh ring has a green CZ in the heart giving it an Irish emphasis.

In addition to these Irish Claddagh rings shown in this post there are several other styles of the Celtic Wedding ring: Irish Claddagh Ring Celtic Wedding Band.




Religious Jewelry

Religious Jewelry

Religious jewelry is not just the usual Cross Necklaces that so many people associate with Religious Jewelry.

In truth there are alot of similarities between Religious jewelry, Cross jewelry and Christian Jewelry. In fact except for one difference, Religious jewelry and Christian jewelry are almost the same from an online stand point.

Cross jewelry and Cross necklaces fit under Christian jewelry and Religious Jewelry. But under Religious jewelry you have jewelry that is associated with other religions.

For instance, under the category of Religious jewelry you would have all Christian jewelry plus all non Christian jewelry like Jewish (Shema) Jewelry, Tibetan Buddhist Jewelry and Hindu (Om) jewelry.

Some would also argue and they may be right that Celtic jewelry and American Indian Jewelry would fit under Religious jewelry. not being familiar with American Indian Jewelry from a religious standpoint I'll concede the issue.

So the point here is that Religious jewelry is by far the most comprehensive category for various religious jewelry pieces including christian jewelry and Cross Jewelry.
