Traditional Celtic Knot Brooch - Handmade in Scotland

Description

Large Satin Finish Pewter Brooch measures 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". Handmade in Scotland.

This brooch uses Celtic interlacing to form a strong but intricate woven celtic knot in the penannular style.

Finished with a satin look to give this brooch the authentic feel of an ancient pin! Antiqued detailing on the ends of the knots help give the illusion of the classic over/under of Celtic knotwork.

This beautiful piece incorporates Celtic Interlacing, with its "overs and unders" representing the "ups and downs" of life; and the unbroken continuity of the endless ribbon symbolizes the hope of eternal life. As such, they are considered by many as a talisman of long life.

2 1/2" x 2 1/2" in solid lead-free pewter with a steel fixed pin!
