The Meaning and History of Celtic Knot Symbols

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Many people all over the world find the signs and meanings of Celtic jewelry designs enthralling and like to collect gold or Celtic knot silver jewelry. There are lots of lovely pieces of jewelry depicting Celtic knots and other Celtic designs and it can be absorbing collecting jewelry with either a particular type of shape, for instance trinity knots, or a set with all designs. It can give more meaning to your collection if you understand something regarding the history and myths of the Celtic people who used these designs in their everyday life on their jewelry and everyday items. Though meanings of Celtic knot designs are, in general, vanished to us, nevertheless a great deal is acknowledged concerning the history of the Celtic people.

The time of the history of the Celts dating from roughly 600 AD. in Great Britain after the Roman Era, recognized as the Insular Art period, saw an outburst of jewelry crafting and design. Skilled workers used precious metals to construct many elaborately detailed pieces ornamented with the famous Celtic knots but also animals and spiral designs. In addition to jewelry, illustrated texts were created, the most well-known of these is the Book of Kells. Stone crosses were engraved with the Celtic symbols and could be seen throughout the British Isles, in Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

Designers of Celtic Knot jewelry nowadays are inspired by the objects that were made throughout this time, taking their ideas from the illustrated manuscripts, stone crosses and relics still seen all over the land today. Irish designers are experts in creating first-rate jewelry in gold and silver, bearing the convoluted designs so cherished by the Celts long ago. They decorate their designs with the complex knotwork seen in these ancient relics.

The original meanings of a lot of of the designs are unknown and various meanings have been fabricated by modern people, so discovering the original meaning of a lot of the designs is problematical and in several cases not possible. Nevertheless historians can concur on a few things with reference to the Celtic knot designs. The complicated knots symbolize how all things are related and also signifies God’s undying love. The Book of Kells is ornately illustrated in bright colours with Celtic knots. The Celtic knot is conceivably, the best known and most commonly cherished Celtic representation and is a trait of many pieces of fine Celtic jewelry including rings, silver Celtic crosses, and wedding bands.

Trinity knots, or triquetra, are repeatedly seen in jewelry from the Insular Art period above all in illustrated texts, for example the Book of Kells, and in metal work. It was generally used in combination with other knots and was often used as a space filler rather than a stand alone design. In contemporary times the triquetra has become a Christian symbol representing the Holy Trinity or as a representation of special threefold things such as mother, daughter and granddaughter.
