Sterling Silver Irish Celtic Crosses

Sterling Silver Irish Celtic Crosses

Traditional Christian crosses represent the all the virtues associated with Christianity. Crosses are the most popular symbol of Christianity, in fact, it's almost the exclusive symbol for Christianity as a whole. The Christian fish is an old but still sometimes used Christian symbol.


 
Celtic crosses are based on traditional crosses but add much more symbolism to the traditional Christian cross. The same is true for an Irish cross. In fact many consider Irish crosses the same as Celtic crosses.

 This Celtic cross has Celtic knot work all around the Celtic circle in the center and all four arms of the Celtic cross. Celtic knot work typical represents eternity as the line interweaves throughout our life and eternity as one continuous flow.

There are some Irish crosses that have a distinct difference from Celtic crosses. Yet, for the most point they are very similar or the same.



 Irish crosses have many elements that make them Irish Celtic crosses. The cross just above is Celtic in every way with one huge exception. That is the predominate Irish shamrock in the center. The clover or shamrock represents the Holy Trinity. Each leaf is one member of the Trinity.




 This Irish Celtic cross necklace is similar to the above Celtic cross necklace. The exceptions are Celtic weave instead of Celtic knots. No Celtic circle but the Irish shamrock makes up for the circle.

This Irish Claddagh cross necklace has a delightful Claddagh symbol that artistically replaces the Celtic circle in the center of the cross. It also has trinity knots on the end caps.

The Celtic cross or Irish cross adds many additional symbols to the traditional cross necklace. Some of the additional symbols found on the Celtic cross are the Celtic knot, the Celtic trinity knot, Irish Claddagh and Irish clover or shamrock. They all add meaningful and inspirational icons to an already rich silver cross necklace.

This Celtic cross necklace is one of the most authentic Celtic crosses in the collection of Celtic cross necklaces. It has a blend of Celtic knots and Celtic weaves. It has a dot in the center but it is not really meant to be a Celtic circle. This type of Celtic cross was used on shields and is known as the Celtic Shield of protection.

Irish Celtic crosses are the essence of Celtic cross necklaces.

Mens Cross Necklaces

Sterling Silver Mens Cross Necklaces

Sterling silver mens cross necklaces like any other cross necklaces have some deep symbolism allowing Christian men everywhere to wear a mens cross necklace to inspire and uplift, acting as a constant visual reminder of their Christian faith.

Among the traditional vast symbolism of the cross necklace, (we're talking about crosses not the crucifix) is hope of eternal life, the resurrection of Jesus,  Gods love allowing His son to be sacrificed for mankind.



Also there is more modern symbolism for the cross necklace; faith, hope, love and eternity. Four virtues, one for each of the four ends of the cross. Cross necklaces for men is no different than cross necklaces for women or any other type of cross necklace.

This cross necklace for men blog post will review a couple of mens cross necklaces to see what additional symbolism they add to the rich symbolism of the cross necklace for men.

While researching out this blog on cross necklaces for men I learned something interesting. Mens necklaces is a very big genre of sterling silver jewelry. It's huge and it includes many other types of mens necklaces that appeal to men. However, the most popular category of mens necklaces is mens crosses and necklaces. I like that interesting fact. it tells me that in America we have a lot of good christian men out there as is evidenced by the great number of silver mens crosses and necklaces being sold.

Back to symbolism of cross necklaces for men.

This sterling silver mens cross necklace is a modern geometric design. It has all the traditional symbolism previously mentioned but what this cross necklace for men adds it a sharp geometric designed on the end caps of the four lines. Three points which is similar to the budded cross necklace. The three points or buds on each end cap represent two different things. The first is the symbolism of three is a popular symbol representing the Godhead. One bud for each member.

Additional the three buds or points represent a disciple which makes twelve disciple points which makes this a disciples cross necklace for men.

Mens crosses are so vast. This cross necklace for men picture represents a "dove of peace Cross necklace".


This inspirational and fashionable cross has some interesting symbolism. The symbol of the Dove which for many Christians represents the Holy Ghost that came down to Jesus after He was baptised by John The Baptist.

Additionally this is a textured cross pendant. If you divided the cross into four lines, each line has three textured layers. three times four equals twelve which makes this a form of a disciples cross.
