Wearing Gorgeous Celtic Jewelry

in #photofeed7 years ago

I did another collaboration with D&O Celtic Jewelry https://docelticjewelry.com , which handcrafts gorgeous jewelry inspired by celtic findings and ancient symbols. In these pictures I am wearing one of my favorite symbols, a gold-plated Triquetra. It is so beautiful and I am so pleased to finally have it adorn my chest.

Also in these pictures you can see some wonderful celtic hair jewelry which I purchased from the lovely LoitsuCrafts https://www.etsy.com/shop/LoitsuCrafts , perfect for attaching to braids or dreads.

Triquetra (also known as the Trinity Knot)

The Triquetra is one of the most common Celtic symbols. A number of different cultures used the triquetra for various meanings over time. Christians use this knot as a symbol of the Holy Trinity. Historians believe pagans used it long before that. The triangle shape of the triquetra always represents three elements. Here is a list of some triads it might represent:

-The Holy Trinity
-Life, Death and Rebirth
-Order, Justice, Peace
-Faith, Hope, Charity
-Past, Present, Future
-Mind, Body, Spirit
-Land, Sea and Air

Another place you see the Celtic triquetra is in Venn diagrams, which is used to illustrate how the classes of things overlap. The triquetra appears in these charts when they have three classes or elements. For instance, a triquetra appears in the Venn diagram that shows the how the primary colors red, blue and green combine to make other colors. For example, red and green make yellow.

My bronze rings are handmade as well actually, from someone making them at a medieval market. And one of them is antique.

Love the necklace! Ive looked into some celtic symbols in the past to try and make jewellery with them but i dont think my soldering skills are quite up to it.
Do you do all your own photos? Theyre really well set up the scenery, clothing, accessories. And well modelled of course!

Would be so cool to be able to make jewelry like this, keep it up! :) Yes, I do all my own photos, usually my boyfriend takes the ones featuring me. These pictures were taken in our garden.

Oh wow, you are so beautiful!
I love the Celtic jewelry and your elf-ish look.

I do also live by the fjords and I am a mushroom and herb enthusiast. Keep it up, from a fellow Norwegian elf. :3
