Sterling Silver, Gold Plated Celtic Knot Earrings. Made in Ireland by ShaNore.
Somewhat mythical and entirely unique, these earrings play with variations on two well-known Celtic symbols: spirals and knots. Sterling silver serves as the foundation over which knots in 14 karat gold plating twist and cross in fluid lines. Two single spirals adorn the highest points of the earrings, giving them a whimsical appeal.
The History of Knots and Spirals
The infinite nature of the Celtic knot leads most people to ponder the endlessly cycling and timeless essence of our human spirit. Some might even wear these knots, so emblematic of strong, eternal life, to fend off illness or threatening incidents. Various types of Celtic knots include the Triquetra, the Quaternary, and the Dara. Spirals have also played an influential role in Celtic symbology. Single spirals often suggest energy radiating from a central core, and in the process, an expansion of awareness and understanding of the universe. This expansion can enhance the balance between an individual’s inner and outer existence.
All Knowledge Begins with Self-Knowledge
The woman captivated by these earrings is someone who wants to know herself well, not only as an autonomous being, but as a member of her community, her country, the world, and beyond. The wavy ropes of the Celtic knot emulate her flexibility and her desire to be constantly moving, searching for new connections and experiences. The spirals imply her ever-building excitement about gaining new knowledge. And each earring features a pair of these shapes, suggesting that while she wishes to merge with the greater picture by sending her energies coiling outward, she also wants to gather the energies of the external realm and use them for inspiration, self-discovery, and healing.
