Celtic knotwork designs are the primary component of Celtic art. Although spirals, key patterns and zoomorphic figures are featured, knotwork patterns are what most people think of as Celtic Art.

Celtic knotwork consists of designs where lines interlace, (go over and under each other forming decorative knots). Celtic knotwork represents the intertwining of the forces of nature: earth and water, night and day, life and death.

The circle in the Celtic cross may have been a pagan moon or sun that was appropriated by early Christians to help convert the Celtic population. Its four arms were perfect for denoting the four elements, the four directions of the compass, and the four parts of man - mind, body, soul and heart.

Our Celtic Knotwork Cross Ring utilizes intricate Celtic knotwork to form a distinctive encircled Celtic-style cross.
