Celtic Knot Jewelry

With a reputation for being fierce warriors and skilled equestrians, the Celts also took great pride in their inventions, creations, and metalworks. 

What is a Celtic knot?

Tales related to the Celtic knot go as far back as 500 B.C. Some samples can be found on Roman floor mosaics and in early Christian artwork. Throughout history, the Celtic knot has undergone assimilation and adaptation to different cultures.

Researchers believe the Celtic Knot originated with both religious and secular motives in mind, and many Celtic knots adorn various ancient manuscripts. The Celtic knot’s purpose is to reflect the Celtic belief in the interconnectedness of life with all things and its continuity.

What Do The Knots Symbolize?

Traditional Celtic knots are made up of different elements, each with its unique symbolism and meaning:

• The Celtic Knot Interlace connects life with humanity’s place in the universe.
• The Celtic Knot Spirals represent the individual’s endeavor to balance their inner and outer self.
• The Knot Patterns include three-chord and four-chord plaits representing life's stages.
• The Step Patterns represent the connection between heaven and earth.

Are There Different Types of Celtic Knot Designs?

Celtic knot designs have been a source of pride and cultural identification for people with Scottish, Irish, and Welsh heritage, and many of its most popular designs have specific meanings:

• The Trinity Knot – Its three points are said to represent the Holy Trinity.
• The Celtic Spiral Knot – As one of the very oldest Celtic designs, this three-sided knot represents earth, fire, and water.
• The Love Knot – Its interlaced cords represent the unbreakable love that exists between two people.
• The Sailor’s Knot – Its two intertwined knots might have been favored by sailors during their long voyages to keep their loved ones close to their hearts.
• The Celtic Cross – With both pagan and Christian interpretations, it can represent all divine energies or the crucifixion of Christ.
• The Shield Knot – This is an ancient symbol of protection to use either in the battlefields or near ill people to ward off evil spirits.

Is the Celtic Knot Irish or Scottish?

Ireland and Scotland use Celtic knots in various cultural depictions and art — particularly folk art. Celtic knots have long been associated with the Irish-influenced culture within the homeland and overseas. But they are used in both Ireland and Scotland, as they are so old that nobody can really put a timeline on their history. Moreover, it is believed that Celtic jewelry was created in Scotland, or at least in a Scottish-influenced style. Suffice it to say that Celtic knots are primarily associated with Ireland, but they can be considered both Irish and Scottish.
