Celtic Knot Pendant Sterling Silver | Sterling Silver | Irish Heritage | Made in USA

An intricate Celtic knot — cast in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. This 3D pendant weighs 2.5 grams and measures 1-1/4" x 1", with flowing interlace patterns that loop back on themselves in an unbroken circuit.

Each knot is lost-wax cast at over 1,640 degrees. The fine crossing and under-over pattern of the knotwork demands precision — a centrifugal caster spinning at roughly 50 G's forces molten silver into every twist and junction. Hand-finishing through progressive polishing stages completes the piece.

Celtic knotwork emerged during the early medieval period in Ireland, Scotland, and Northern England. The Book of Kells, the Lindisfarne Gospels, and thousands of stone high crosses display knotwork of staggering complexity — all drawn with compasses and straightedges by monks working by candlelight.

Perfect for Irish heritage gifts, Celtic art lovers, medieval history enthusiasts, or anyone who sees beauty in patterns that have no beginning and no end. Sterling silver jump ring comes attached — thread it onto a silver chain as a heritage pendant.
