I have fallen in love with the celtic jewelry.  Surely, I’m not the only one captivated with this style. Celtic jewelry shares mysterious and the mystica power as an extension and a reminder of the traditions and rituals of the Celts, an ancient European people. Today, men and women of all ages wear Celtic jewelry not only for its beauty, but also for its symbolism and metaphysical connotations.

Not my case tough.  A person does not have to be Irish or Scottish or have any other Celtic connection in order to appreciate Celtic jewelry. I personaly enjoy wearing such jewelry just because it is simply beautiful! Celtic jewelry is generaly appreciated for its intricacy and esthetic appeal by many jewelry lovers and most of my friends actualy.  Numerous patterns of Celtic origin, such as the spiral and the cross, are incorporated by jewelers into their creations.

The Celtic spiral symbolizes eternity and is used abundantly in many Celtic jewelry items today. Just as popular is the Celtic cross, which pre-dates the Christian cross by about two centuries. The Celtic cross is thought to bring knowledge, understanding and the fortitude to deal with trials and adversities, as compared to the Christian cross, which is believed to protect the wearer from harm.

Claddagh rings and bracelets are two more examples of popular Celtic jewelry items that are replete with symbolism. Rings that have the Celtic knot design symbolize eternal and undying love; this is why they are exchanged by the bride and groom in present day wedding ceremonies-to signify their fidelity and never-ending commitment to each other. Such rings and bracelets are also given to friends as an indication of loyalty.
