The Trinity Knot represents the threefold
nature of the Goddess as virgin, mother and crone.
It symbolizes life, death, and rebirth.
In Christian Symbolism:
The Triquetra represents the HolyTrinity:
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Often called the Trinity Knot. Celtic
Triangle Knot orTriquetra Knot…
this three-pronged knot symbolizes
the Celtic philosophy that everything
has 3 distinct yet interlocked levels.
This triangular Celtic knot is said
to represent the three planes of existence -
physical, mental and spiritual.
Notice how, although the three points
are clearly separate,
they are interlocked together,
symbolizing the connection between
the three planes.
This triangular Celtic knot design
symbolizes all trinities and especially
the realms of Air, Earth and Sea - thus all the world.
Eternity Knot There is not just one knot
that can be called an "Eternity Knot".
Any knot that has a closed path,
with no beginning or end may be symbolic
of eternity or continuum.
This meaning was suggested by the great
Scottish Celtic art teacher
of the 20th century, George Bain,
it has been an accepted meaning
by many artists and craftsmen.
Since knotwork is often used
as an emblem of heritage,
the symbolism of "continuum" reinforces
the endurance of the tradition.

How to care for your STERLING SILVER
Here are a few things you can do
to keep your silver shining, and tarnish free.
Keep silver away from sulfurous material,
sulfur is silver’s main corrosive agent.
What’s corrosive?
Ammonia (Think glass cleaner.)
Nair (Take the jewelry off before you use it.)
OK, you forgot to take the rings off…
what now?
I am going to tell you a secret…
Use vinegar to clean the discoloration.
VINEGAR WILL NOT CLEAN SILVER,
BUT IT IS OPPOSITE ON THE PH SCALE
AND WILL NEGATE THE CAUSE.
THEN –
Use the polishing cloth
to polish your silver.
Also, keeping your silver in an
airtight plastic bag (like a Ziploc bag)
will also help; this will keep the sulfur
and other corrosive agents in the air
from coming in contact with your silver.
Your jewelry box may be
a mass of plastic bags…
but the jewelry will look good!
Your sterling silver jewelry
should be worn and enjoyed…
and your body oils
also help prevent tarnishing.
Know that silver can tarnish rapidly
when exposed to the sun and salt air.
So if you wear your jewelry to the beach
or on a boat, it will tarnish.
That's when I use a polishing cloth
to give it a quick wipe before I put it away.
I like the Haggerty products
and have it available if you need it,
but you can usually buy it in many places.

All our jewelry is Sterling Silver,
There is not just one knot that
can be called an "Eternity Knot".
Any knot that has a closed path,
with no beginning or end is symbolic of eternity.
Who knows if this was ever the intention
of the ancient scribes...
but it has been accepted by many artists
and craftsmen.
Knot work is often used as an emblem of heritage.
