There are more Celtic necklaces than we can possibly look at. But I have tried to present a wide range of sample pictures.

The Virtue Of Courage

THE VIRTUE OF COURAGE

Courage is a virtue that seems to be in short supply in this day and age.  I like this quote from the late Howard Cosell:

 

"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right." (Howard Cosell)

 

 

 

It takes courage to make the right choice when all around you, you see that results of bad choices and feel pressure of those consequences.  That's where word jewelry comes in handy.  Sterling silver word jewelry is a bunch or word charms and word necklaces.

 

There is a word charm called the courage charm.  This courage charm is just one of over two hundred word charms.

 

 

 

 

To see all the various words engraved on the word charms then go to word charms.

Celtic Knot Jewelry

CELTIC KNOT JEWELRY

Sterling silver Celtic knot jewelry comes in a wonderful array of Celtic jewelry specifically designed with Celtic knots.

 

Out of all the sterling silver Celtic knot jewelry pieces, like Celtic knot rings, Celtic knot earrings and Celtic knot necklaces, we will look at a few types of Celtic knot necklaces. Keep in mind that while we are looking at just a few, there are numerous types of silver Celtic knot necklaces that you can see but going to Celtic knot necklaces.

Even the sterling silver Celtic cross necklace falls into the Celtic knot necklaces genre. The Celtic cross necklace above illustrates the use of Celtic knots in a Celtic cross necklace.

 

The Celtic knot often has specific meanings.  The Celtic knot in the above Celtic knot necklace represents a Celtic knot of "luck".

 

 

 

CELTIC CROSS MEANING

CELTIC CROSS MEANING

The sterling silver Celtic cross is not new to cross jewelry and Christian jewelry but it is gaining in major popularity.  The silver Celtic cross is so popular that it is very common to find a Celtic cross necklace in a collection of Christian crosses and no mention is even made of it being a sterling silver Celtic cross as opposed to a more traditional cross.

 

 

 

Here's why...  The silver Celtic cross is all about meaning and symbolism.  The Celtic cross is shaped like a "regular" cross but also has additional symbols.  For instance, the silver Celtic cross below has Celtic trinity knots and an Irish clover along with some other Celtic knots.

Understanding the Celtic cross meaning can't be explained by one sterling silver Celtic cross even one like the Celtic cross above with its extra symbols.  But if you were to look at the Celtic cross meaning source you could learn above most, if not all the various symbols that appear on various Celtic crosses.

Word Jewelry

Word Jewelry

Word jewelry, like any other sterling silver jewelry, comes in many different shapes and styles.  The main difference between the two types of jewelry is word jewelry has words and short phrases engraved on the charms and pendants.

 

Many of the sterling silver word charms look like the round love charm shown below in the love charm necklace.

 

Word jewelry can also work hand in hand with traditional themed jewelry like this sweet little number:

 

 

 

"We are all weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we call it love." (Robert Fulghum)

 

The love charm necklace shown below is popular for so many obvious reasons but it also goes well with this quote by Mr. Fulghum.

 

 

 

The life charm goes well with that quote also and it is the same as the love charm only with the word "life" engraved on it.

Sterling silver Celtic crosses make wonderful sterling silver Celtic cross necklaces.    What makes Celtic crosses so different from traditional Christian crosses is the presence of Irish and Celtic symbols.  These Celtic and Irish symbols add a surprising degree of Christian symbolism like the trinity knot, the Irish clover and an assortment of other interesting symbols.

Their are many ways to celebrate "love". Poems, lyrics, heart jewelry and even word jewelry. We will look at love quotes and word jewelry as a way to celebrate the always popular emotion of love.

 

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” (Dr. Seuss)  I love this quote. It reminds me of when I fell in love with my wife and our courtship and engagement.  Love made everything so new and so exciting.

CROSS NECKLACES FOR MEN

CROSS NECKLACES FOR MEN

Sterling silver cross necklaces for men are one of the most popular of all types of necklaces for men.  That surprises me a little because there are tons of different types of necklaces for men.

 

Additionally, America is like the western European decline in Christianity.  More and more people are leaving organized Christian religion.  But like I said, cross necklaces for men and the most popular type of silver necklaces for men.

 

 

 

Of course, many who are leaving organized religion are the type that are going off in their own direction. They still read the Bible and try to live Christian lives. 

 

People at Christian schools are concerned about the trend in Christianity of people leaving organized religion.  But we know that not all of them are leaving Christianity entirely. Is there any other proof that Christianity still lives in the lives of Christian men?

 

 

 

While my idea is not scientific, it leans to economics a little.  The fact that the cross necklace for men is the most popular genre of necklaces for men tells me that men are still very involved in the Christian faith.
