The Celtic knot is probably one of the most widely used designs in the creation of Celtic necklaces and earrings. The knots are not limited to just jewelry, however, and can be found in just about anything Celtic- from writings to rugs! As a matter of fact, Celtic knots are stamped into the leather checkbook cover I have hidden away for my sister for Christmas (shhh… don’t tell!)
Unlike many other Celtic symbols, the knot seems to have no “special” meaning, as so many of the other symbols do. Some say that the continuous thread and working of the knot evokes a message of eternity and a feeling of being connected. Actually, it seems the knotwork is so widely used because it is just plain pretty and interesting. The ancient folk, evidentally, did love things just for their beauty!
