Perhaps there is no form of jewelry so rich with colourful history as Celtic Jewelry. Because the Celts have a rather ostentatious, extravagant, and controversial past, linking a type of jewelry to their name conjures up an emotion of absolute exhilaration, as if Celtic jewelry is the only expensive ornamental and historical piece to date.

Celtic Jewelry has its own source, just like everything else on this earth. History tells us that the Celts started making their own fine jewelry after the Romans shooed them out of their homeland centuries ago. Since they used to live extravagant lives, they already had a thought on what was artistic and classy. So even when they had been removed of financial privileges, they remained enterprising by taking advantage of their artistry with jewelry.

The defining mark of Celtic jewelry, whether it's for Irish wedding rings or engagement rings or simple Celtic pendants, is the Celtic cross. In fact, there are specific hypotheses as to the symbolism of the cross. Some would say that the four arms represent earth, fire, water, and air; while some would say that those sticks actually symbolize mind, heart, body, and soul. It doesn't matter what the arms really stand for, what matters is the fact that Celtic jewelry is ridden with deep symbolism. If you wear it, then expect to get a lot of attention from jewelry lovers.

The Celts were probably the best when it comes to making jewelry. Examples of Celtic jewelry would be Celtic wedding bands; Claddagh, which is formed like two palms holding a heart with a crown on it; and Celtic Trinity knots. A Celtic engagement ring is probably one of the most beautiful presents you can give your future spouse.

There are other forms of Celtic jewellery. Examples are the spirals, which stand for greater spirit figures and are usually used on grave sites, and the triskeles, which are symbols of the Threefold Sister Goddesses; some also symbolize animals like dragons, boars, and cats since these animals symbolize power, strength, wealth, and health.

No other jewelry has beaten Celtic jewelry. While fine jewelry like those of Bulgari, Swarovski, De Beers, and others are widely available, the fact that Celtic jewelry is one of a kind and very rare makes it stand out above others. A Swarovski necklace might look pretty, but it is relatively average when put beside a Celtic necklace. Its history and mystery makes it more beautiful. This given information of richness makes Celtic jewelry even more beautiful.
