A small history on Celtic culture and the Knotwork they created :
Celtic knot-work was not only practiced as artwork by the Celts, but also had deeper meanings behind it. Since the Celts did not keep records of themselves before the Roman's conquest of Gaul, what we know of their culture comes mostly from Greek and Roman historians, as well as oral tradition passed down from generation to generation. In general it is believed that to the pre-christian pagan Celts, the knotwork may have represented both the circular infinity of the universe, as well as how the spiritual and the physical world are intertwined into one.
This ring was inspired by the beautiful wire woven jewelry of the past, and the mysterious traditions of the people of the Celtic nations. I have also designed it as simple project that most beginners can take on with no problem.
