Sterling Silver Celtic Trinity Knot & Amethyst Pendant

Celtic knots are a variety of stylized endless knots used for decoration. Though Celtic knot designs are dated to pre-Christianity, they are well known for their use in the ornamentation of Christian monuments and manuscripts such as the 8th century Book of Kells.

The Trinity knot predates Christianity and was likely a Celtic symbol of the triple aspects of the Goddess (Maiden, Mother and Crone). It also makes an ideal Christian symbol as the representation of the concept of "three in one" in the Christian trinity belief (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost).

Amethyst is a purple quartz crystal steeped in ancient lore and old magic. Purple has long been considered a royal color and amethyst has been much in demand throughout history. Amethyst is still one of the most popular stones in the world and ranges in color from pale lilac to deep purple. It is believed that Amethyst encourages true love and brings a strengthening of commitment to one's loved one.

Amethyst is said to increase one's spirituality and cleanse and purify the mind and spirit.

Amethyst is the February birthstone and is associated with the Zodiac sign Pisces. It is the anniversary gemstone for the fourth wedding anniversary.
