Caring for Your Jewelry   t

Immerse yourself in the mystic mood of the Emerald Isles with Chinn Jewelry’s new Celtic collection.

This past July, Gayle wandered through the mists of Dublin, Ireland in search of pieces of unique and stylish Irish jewelry with a craftsmanship that bespeaks the lore of ancient artisans that first crafted them.

And he found them. Necklaces, rings and more featuring Claddaghs Celtic Knots, Shamrocks and real, yes that’s right – real, four leaf clovers – made of Sterling Silver and 10-14kt Gold.

The Celtic people were well known for the mysterious and repetitive designs of the Ancient Celtic symbols which they used extensively in their jewelery, clothing, weapons, objects of worship and other everyday items. The Celts even painted various Ancient Celtic symbols on their bodies with blue dye to intimidate enemies during battle.

What do all these symbols mean?

Celtic Cross: Symbolizes the bridge to other worlds and to higher energy and knowledge. Also symbolizes the blending of the Celtic and Christian tradition with the weaved lattice work & fancy knots of typical Celtic design.

Celtic Oval: The flowing knotwork of the oval symbolizes eternal life and unending love.

Celtic Round: The out circle symbolizes the sun (giver of life) which encloses the knots representing  earth, fire and water.

Celtic Triangle: Symbolizes the Holy Trinity, continuity, fidelity and inner strength.

Gayle’s not suggesting that you go painting your body with dye made from blueberry juice, but he’s sure that just trying on one of these beautiful pieces of jewelry featuring will give you a mysterious aura of ages past.


The Four Leaf Clover: One leaf is for HOPE, the second for FAITH,
the third for LOVE and the fourth for LUCK.
