Celtic Jewelry

Jewelry (spelled "Jewellery" in the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth) has existed since prehistoric times.  It probably began as a method to fasten clothes together (such as a Celtic kilt clasp, brooch or buckle) and as a way to store and later display wealth

. 

Although it can still be used for those purposes, nowadays jewelry is most often used as a fashion accessory.  In addition to personal adornment, wearing certain types of jewelry can have a particular symbolic meaning. 

For example, wearing a Masonic ring signifies membership in that fraternal order, or wearing a family heraldic signet ring declares the person's family ancestry. 

Celtic jewelry, in particular, is often used as a symbol of a person's pride in being a Celt.  As such, wearing Celtic jewelry is an easy and beautiful way to signify the importance of both historic and current Celtic traditions.  For example, the popular Celtic cross incorporates both Christian and Celtic pagan design elements.

Just about any type of material can be used to make Celtic jewelry, including precious metals such as gold, sterling silver and platinum.  Precious and semi-precious gemstones such as diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and topaz, can be inlaid or set into the metal.  Or it can be made from other metals such as silver plate, vermeil, brass or pewter, which are sometimes set with synthetic gems such as cubic zirconia.  Wood, beads, seashells, glass, bone, pearls, ivory and more can also be used. 

Celtic jewelry has been famous for its beauty and fine craftsmanship since ancient times.  Many different types of Celtic jewelry can be designed to incorporate "Celtic knots," the beautiful, stylized representations of endless knots that were used by ancient Celts to symbolize their pagan religious beliefs.  A Celtic cross designed in this fashion can be particularly striking.  Many other well-known Celtic design elements, such as the Tree of Life, the Trinity Knot, dragons (especially Welsh dragons) and the Claddagh design can be incorporated into jewelry.

Clasps, pins and brooches, buckles, rings, bracelets, necklaces, hairpins, and, most notably, torcs, are classic, traditional pieces of Celtic jewelry.  Other types of Celtic jewelry include tie tacs and tie pins, lockets, cuff links, earrings and even watches.  Many pieces of Celtic jewelry are made by gifted artisans, and almost all exhibit fine craftsmanship and intricate detail.

People who can trace their ancestry to one of the "Six Celtic Nations" - Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Brittany - are indeed fortunate.  Their heritage is a proud one, and it should be honoured and nurtured.  A large part of the populations of Ireland and Britain, together with their relatives who live elsewhere, have Celtic roots.  And almost all Celts celebrate and honour Celtic traditions and the Celtic heritage.  Celtic jewelry is a way, a very visible and beautiful way, to honour, celebrate and revel in Celtic culture.
