Who wears Celtic jewelry? Well, traditional-minded Irish, Scottish and Welsh folks do. But just anyone who loves the hottest jewelry trends can enjoy it too (that includes celebs such as Jennifer Aniston and Bono). The silver Claddagh ring, a design that features two hands clasping a heart, with a crown at the center.

The heart represents love; the hands represent friendship; and the crown represents loyalty. All together, these elements represent pride in Irish heritage. Claddagh rings are commonly given as friendship rings, but also as engagement and wedding rings. They are passed down in families through generations, and are worn in different ways on the hand to signify relationship status.

You may have seen the traditional Celtic Warrior Cross on the cover of a heavy metal album or two (or hundred), but this eighth century artifact is more than just a warrior emblem.

Today, it’s a proud piece of heritage and a beautiful piece of jewelry in sterling silver. Inspired by the decorative band on the Ardagh Chalice, the Celtic Cross is completed with the Celtic Warrior Shield in the middle for an awe-inspiring necklace.

If you’re looking for a necklace with a softer, more feminine appeal, look no further than the Celtic Knot. There’s a mystical and spiritual appeal to this design, which represents eternity and continuity. In Christianity, the three knots of the Celtic Knot represent the Holy Trinity.

The design also represents the past, present and future of the relationship, while also representing eternity in some interpretations.

The best Celtic Knot necklaces are handcrafted from sterling silver with a gold circle running through the knot. The effect is breathtaking. The Celtic Knot is popular in Celtic jewelry for its classic beauty.
