These are the smaller of 2 earring sizes that we have made of this design. There are around 1/2" in diameter, and are easy to wear casually as a feminine expression of appreciation for celtic art and symbolism.
HISTORIC and SYMBOLIC NOTATIONS This is our newest design series, which is a personalized variation on the classic "Book of Kells" era Spiral Designs. The symbolic connection represented here defines an effort by the Church to connect with the Celtic people through symbols, images, and concepts that resonate with older traditions. The Triskele goes by many names over time: Trefoil, Trillium, Triskelee, Triquetra among others. Some correlation to the Trinity is inevitable, but the spiral images of old were chiseled into large womblike stones at such famous sites as “Newgrange Ireland" and others. The Triple Goddess imagery from that period is more of a matriarchal nature, echoing the 3 phases of womanhood (Maiden, Mother, Wise Woman) as well as Life, Death and Rebirth, including the natural elements of Earth, Sea, and Sky. The overlap of traditions and symbolic content leave much that is open for interpretation and connection for individuals, based on their particular affinity. The Triskele remains one of the most powerful symbols of the ancient celts, and the design we have crafted is in honor of all the layers of rich history that surround this classic motif.
