Sterling Silver Celtic Symbol Charm - Stamped and Tested Sterling Silver - Triquetra/Trinity Knot and Irish Claddagh

This listing is for the photographed Sterling Silver Celtic Symbol Charm. Beautiful sterling silver charm depicting the trinity/triquetra knot above the Irish Claddagh and stamped "925" on the back of the piece. The triquetra, also known as the Trinity Knot, is an ancient symbol that takes the form of three interconnected arcs or loops. It's a three-cornered knot design and is often associated with Celtic and Christian cultures. The symbol has been interpreted in various ways, including representing the Holy Trinity, the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. The history of the Irish Claddagh ring dates back to the 17th century in Claddagh, a fishing village on the west coast of Ireland. The design has many components, all with different intertwining meanings. The heart, crown, and hands represent love, loyalty and friendship respectively. The origins of the Claddagh design are shrouded in mystery, as there is no concrete truth to the tale of its creation. Many believe the legend that a fisherman by the name of Richard Joyce created the ring in the late 17th century after he escaped servitude under pirates and married his love from his home village.
