9ct Gold Celtic Knot Pendant

This piece is based on the typical Celtic Knot, formed from one continuous line, which appears on carved stones and in early Christian manuscripts. Rhiannon’s design has a beauty and balance superior to many larger and more complex designs. The pattern is continued on the reverse side, forming a true Celtic Knot.

This design is part of our Celtic Knotwork Collection. Knotwork is probably the best known and most familiar style of Celtic design, but in fact it was a late development in Celtic Art, adopted by the Celts from Eastern countries, then developed and elaborated by Celtic Christian monks from the 7th Century onwards. The intertwined patterns of never-ending lines appealed to the Celts, symbolising their ideas of eternal life and the intricate relationship of humanity with both the divine and natural worlds.
