The Celts dominated much of western and central Europe in the 1st millennium BC, giving their language, customs, and religion to the other peoples of that area. In the 5th century Saint Patrick converted the Celts but many of the converts retained much of their Druidic religion.
The Celtic cross near the Shannon River in Ireland illustrates how the Celtic people preserved many of their Druidic beliefs. The Celtic style is marked by elliptical curves and opposing curves.
The Celts of Ireland continued to work with traditional motifs, but, as Christianity took hold, they combined them with Christian motifs and employed their skills in the service of the church. Their carved stone crosses may more properly be considered Irish art.
All wire wrapped pendants are available on 24" or 30" black satin or black leather cords-your choice.

The gemstone beads and pendants we use are all natural. People who love natural stone jewelry accept and relish the fact that natural stone is not a sterile gem quality, but shows the variations and adverse climatic conditions under which it was created. In any natural stone there will be imperfections if viewed from a gemstone mindset. Natural stone is beautiful and unique because of its often rough or scarred appearance.
