Celtic Highland Pendants

Celtic Highland Pendants

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 Highland Pendants
are crafted in the finest quality Sterling Silver.
