About Celtic Jewelry
The Celts did not have a written culture like we have today. Instead, they passed their beliefs, values, and history through an oral tradition. The spoken word and symbolism through artwork was their way of expressing religious beliefs and interpretations of the land, such as seasons, animals, and food that they relied on.
The original designs and symbols we find in Celtic jewelry today reflect those ancient beliefs. The symbols we find in Celtic jewelry have various meanings depending on the tribe, location, time period, and the preferred Celtic Gods. Some Celtic symbols represent the tribe's brotherhood and unity, while others, like the Claddagh ring represents romantic love or marriage between two lovers.
