 | Valentine’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to show the woman you love just how much you care for her. If you are intrigued by the symbolism and beauty of Irish Celtic Jewelry designs, you may want to find out which styles will work best as Valentine’s Day gifts. Luckily, the meaning and history of many symbols found on Irish Celtic rings, pendants, and earrings, are steeped in romantic tradition. You can honor your loved one’s heritage with delicately handcrafted pieces that evoke the virtues of love, faithfulness, and friendship. |
Since the fifth century, Irish artisans have crafted stunning examples of jewelry, and other metalwork, that reference some common symbols of Irish and Celtic history. Intricate knot work, spirals and whorls, Celtic Crosses, and Shamrocks, have all been used to illustrate the love of God, and fellow man, that is so much a part of the Irish Celtic tradition.
In centuries past, early-Medieval, Irish artisans were world-renowned for their incredible work with precious metals: today, jewelry designers and artisans rely on the same, time-honored techniques, making modern Irish Celtic jewelry designs sought after throughout the world. By borrowing from the past, modern jewelry designs have a timeless, heirloom quality that will remain treasured for generations to come.
