Celtic knotwork is at the heart of many of Ireland’s carved artwork and jewellery design.
Spirals, step patterns, and key patterns are dominant motifs in Celtic art before the Christian influence on the Celts, which began around 450. These designs found their way into early Christian manuscripts and artwork with the addition of depictions from life, such as animals, plants and even humans. In the beginning, the patterns were intricate interwoven cords, and as time went on the designs became more complex and ornamental.
Our Celtic knot decoration is the perfect choice this Christmas. Handcrafted in Ireland with Connemara Marble 900 million years in the making. Highly polished with natural beeswax to pick up all the colours of your tree.
The center hosts our silvertone Celtic knot. Prestrung with a festive, tartan design ribbon ready to be hung on your tree.

What is Connemara Marble?
Connemara Marble is a rare form of marble found in Connemara Co. Galway in the West of Ireland.
• It is a calcite marble which contains large amounts of serpentine. The marble forms when limestone is heated under pressure. While the colour is predominantly green there are often shades of grey and brown seen throughout.
• Formed from sediment deposited in a shallow primal sea over 900 million years ago. The beautiful stryations of rich to pale green within the marble are formed by tiny crystals of green serpentine, diopside, chlorite and rich white calcite with dolomite.
• Connemara Marble has been used for centuries as a medium of exchange. Its beautiful swirling patterns perfectly represent the Irish landscapes where it is found. An inspiration for jewelry makers and architects across the world as the patterns are different in each stone which means each piece is entirely unique!
