Celtic jewellery is said to offer the wearer protection from negative forces.

For centuries, Celtic symbols and signs held incredible power for the ancient Celts in every way of life.
The word Celtic refers to people who lived in Britain and Western Europe from 500 BC and 400 AD. Celts were of the Iron Age and lived in small villages which were led by warrior chiefs.

The Celtic Knot is one of the best known motifs in Celtic jewelry and art. The continual looping of Celtic designs suggests themes of eternity and interconnectedness, and it is believed the knots were originally made to foil evil spirits. Interwoven figures of people and animals represented the interdependent nature of life while two or more knots laced together symbolize lovers, hunters and their prey, God and man, etc. Most knots were used as magical talismans for protection.
