The history of the jewelry

The Celts used braiding and knotwork in the decoration of their crafts. The intricate patterns interwoven into spirals and knots symbolized to them the continuity of life. This technique is seen in these Celtic linked knot earrings.

The intertwined knotworks were developed from tartan fabrics and basket weaving techniques. The knot was generally infinite. This design was widespread in England and Ireland, where its complexity is often found depicted in carvings on stone crosses.
