Meaning of the symbols

 

Mystery Of Ireland Ring
Ancient Symbols reflecting the
mystery that is Ireland.

Triple Knot - the beautiful simplicity of the triple knot symbolises eternity and continuity.  The interlace pattern never ends and is the key to Celtic knot work.  In Christianity it is used to represent the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Spiral -representing the Newgrange Tomb in the Boyne Valley Co. Meath. Older than Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt, this magical ancient burial ground was built by Neolithic communities about 5000 years ago. In this new age many people have adopted this symbol for its connection to the past
 
  Claddagh - the legend tells of a sailor from Claddagh in Galway, captured by pirates a week before he was to be married.  He learned his goldsmith skills while enslaved and made this ring for his beloved.  The heart symbolizing their love, hands for friendship and crown for loyalty.
 

Shamrock - is without doubt the most identifiable symbol of Ireland.  It was used by Saint Patrick, the patron saint to explain the Holy Christian Trinity.  The word comes from the Gaelic "seamrog" meaning little clover and is worn the world over on 17th March - St Patrick's Day

Harp - is the oldest official symbol of Ireland.  Used on Irish coins, state seals and official documents.  The harp or lyre represented is the small portable type used by Celtic Minstrels, reminding us of the rich legacy of the bard.
