Celtic Highland Earrings

Celtic Highland Earrings

The Book of Kells, which inspired these designs, is an ancient manuscript,
prepared by Irish Monks to hand-copy the four Gospels for future generations.
The intricate drawings, or "illuminations" it contains, were to help people understand
the Gospels, especially those who could not read Latin; for those who could not
read at all, the pictures were essential.

The most characteristic ornaments of The Book of Kells are the closely coiled spirals
connected with each other by a number of curves. Other frequently occurring designs
are a system of geometrical weaving of ribbons plated and knotted together. These
beautiful Celtic Earrings are crafted in the finest quality Sterling Silver, with some designs
accented with semi-precious gemstones including Amethyst, Garnet and Aventurine.
