Celtic Art: Celtic Symbols Open to Intrepretation
Image via Wikipedia
Since the Celtic people unfortunately left no written guides for us, realizing what each Celtic symbol represents has been left open to quite a few different interpretations over the years. Celtic jewelry is rich in symbolism, mythology and spirituality and it’s up to us to try and make sense of it all.
The symbols of the Celtic people bring up images of power and reveal a people who honored nature and life, in general. Even after thousands of years, though, of attempts to understand it all, there is still a great deal of mystery and intrigue surrounding the Celts and their wonderful artwork that is now worn by the lovers of designer jewelry around the world.
Celtic Jewelry: History of the Claddagh Ring
Image via Wikipedia
The Claddagh ring has to be the most famous Celtic jewelry design in the world. It is epitomized by a pair of hands holding a heart, and depending on who you ask, has a raft of historical meanings and significance. Much has been lost to the ages, but we do know a bit about the history of the style.
There are a number of supposed origins, of varying historical likelihoods, but only one is popularly believed to be true. Despite being regarded as Celtic, the Claddagh is only 400 years old. It is however, based on a much older Celtic design, which is why it’s still attributed to them.
Celtic Engagement Rings: Where Inspiration Matters

One of the principal reasons many people prefer designer jewelry is because they can pick a piece that says something about them as a person, or about the person they are giving it to. Celtic engagement rings suit this purpose ideally, as they are designer oriented pieces that can mean many things to many people.
When you’re looking for something with meaning, Celtic jewelry has the answer. In any aspect of fashion, there are sources of inspiration for each and every piece. The inspiration can come from a number of sources such as the natural world. Flowers, trees, gardens, fish, animals, landscapes to name a few can all act as catalysts for design ideas.
A Bit of Luck With a Four-Leaf Clover

Well, if to take a religious point of view, every leaf of the plant acquires some sacred meaning. According to one interpretation prevailing in the Irish tradition, three leaves of the plant represent God the Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit of the Christian Trinity. And the fourth lucky leaf is God’s grace.
But there is another explanation. Faith, hope and love constitute three common leafs of the white clover, while the fourth one stands for luck.
But not only religious people are prone to believe in the majestic qualities of a four-leaf white clover. In their case, such beliefs may be explained by exceptional rarity of such plants, as only 1 plant in 10,000 will produce a four leaf clover. Some merry botanists tried to increase their quantity and claimed to acquire 1 case in 41. But who would believe in the magic of an artificially bred plant?
