Celtic Pagan Druid Vintage Jewellery Incorporated Many Enigmatic Symbols
Celtic Jewellery History
Between 2000BC and around 500AD, the Celts devised a distinctive and easily identifiable style of celtic jewellery making that is still popular today. Using mainly silver and gold, the pieces would inevitably incorporate Celtic symbols, which were closely linked to Nature. However, it is the intricate patterns that give ancient Celtic jewelry its universal and enduring appeal.
The earliest examples of Celtic jewellery were neck torcs, a large ring that was worn as a necklace, and ornamental brooches. These classic pieces have been adapted over the centuries to suit prevailing trends, yet they remain faithful to the original creations. Celtic warriors wore torcs in battle, and the twisted design was something of a good luck charm, because it was believed it would bring the wearer safely back from the battle. The torcs certainly offered no kind of physical protection, but as Celtic warriors wore no armour, perhaps the torc served its purpose as a good luck charm.
