The Celts were a people who lived some two thousand years ago across much of what we now know as Europe. The Celts saw art in everything and loved to adorn even simple everyday items with various designs rich in their own symbolism.

Modern Celtic Jewellery is also rich in this symbolism. Celts themselves has a rich history and a proud tradition. Immensely beautiful with intricate Celtic symbols and delicate designs such as Celtic Cross, Celtic Triquetra, Celtic Triskele, Celtic Knot and also the beautiful Claddagh, Shamrock and Thistle have been admired and desired for thousands of years.

A triskelion or triskele is a motif consisting of three interlocked spirals,or any similar symbol with three protrusions and a threefold rotational symmetry. Although it appears in many places and periods, it is especially characteristic of the Celtic art of the La Tène culture of the European Iron Age. A triskelion is the symbol of Brittany, as well as of the Isle of Man and of Sicily, where it is called trinacria.

If you are looking for a new jewellery style with flair you would be well advised to have a look at Celtic jewellery before making your choice.
