Sterling Silver Celtic Swan Earrings

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.

There is no definitive guide as to the meaning of Celtic knots, but it is generally accepted that the looping Celtic knot design denotes eternity and interconnectedness.

Swans are prominent in Celtic symbolism and represent love and purity. They are considered sacred, and, as creatures of the three elements - Earth, air and water - swans can command all three. This knot represents the unity and eternity of the two swans.
