Celtic Knot
Celtic knotwork embodies a richness and pureness of ancient Celtic times. It dates back as far as the 5th century and was used extensively by the ancient monks to illuminate the world famous Book of Kells and Book of Durrow manuscripts. There is much speculation and scholarly guesses associated with the meaning of Celtic knots. The Celts didn't keep records of the meanings of the designs they created but they were prevalent in so many areas of their life. Because of the context of the designs that scholars have studied it has been speculated that the knots represented basic tenants of life, mankind and spirituality. Some could have been created to ward off evil spirits, others are said to relate to
the concept of eternity, eternal life, or the interconnectedness of all living things. Over time, archaeologists have determined that the outer shape of a knot, as seen in our Celtic knot earrings, is key to the overall meaning and have recorded a key of sorts to aid in determining the context of Celtic designs
