Celtic jewelry like the Celts themselves has a rich history and
a proud tradition. Immensely beautiful with intricate Celtic
symbols and delicate designs, Celtic cross jewelry, Celtic knot
jewelry, and beautiful Claddaugh rings have been admired and

most enduring, and coveted "gifts" of Celtic culture is jewelry

a representation of human existence - mind, body, soul and
heart. Celtic Knots The most distinguishing characteristic of
