Celtic
Art:
We
may never know the exact influences that created the first true Celtic
art, but
it is surely have reflections of the Greek and Mediterranean
regions of Europe. Early Celtic art
and its abstract
designs are abstract derivatives of plant, vegetal, and animals of the
world.
As Europe developed its fine
artwork, so did the Irish, creating
works in stone and metal. Recognizable designs include Irish spirals,
running scrolls,
and tendrils. Jewelry is both classical and native, with special
designs
including the Claddagh Ring, and Bronze Age Torcs.
Irish
Gifts:
When
people are looking for an Irish Gift, many times they
are influenced in their shopping by Irish heritage symbols, celtic
design, celtic art and celtic images. Irish
gifts are symbols of Love; Love for Family, Friends, and Religion. We
believe Celtic knotwork's true meanings are a
never ending designs of love and foreverness.
