Description

Product: These earrings are handmade with 925 Sterling Silver in our own workshop. Material: 925 Sterling Silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver & 7.5% other metals, usually copper. Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing large functional objects, & in Sterling Silver, the silver is alloyed to give strength whilst preserving the malleability of the silver & a high precious metal content - ideal for making silver jewellery. Sterling silver jewellery is always stamped with a marking to indicate the percentage of silver it contains. Design: When it comes to symbolism in art, the Celts had a very different viewpoint to neighbouring cultures such as the Greeks & Etruscans. The Celtic civilisation was far more enamoured with imagination than reality when creating their symbols. Despite the fact that the Celtic civilisation has long since ceased to exist, remnants of it can be seen everywhere, specially in Scotland. However, few aspects of Celtic culture are more apparent in modern society than Celtic knots. These knots are complete loops that have no start or finish & could be said to represent eternity whether this means loyalty, faith, friendship or love. Only one thread is used in each design which symbolises how life & eternity are interconnected. Symbols played an important role in Norse culture. The spirituality of the Norse Vikings was so ingrained in their culture & thought process that they had no word for religion. There was no separation (as there so often is today) between faith & reality. Packaging: The product will be sent in an organza bag along with a business card. sterling Silver Celtic Viking Drop Earrings
