The Celts are a group of tribal societies who lived in the mid and western Europe from 500 BC to 400 AD. Much of the Celtic culture and heritage have been lost. There are almost no literary works from the Celtic period except for a few inscriptions in a script called Ogham. The Celtic culture was rich in signs and symbolism. The pagan priests or Druids were the keepers of Celtic knowledge. This knowledge was usually passed in the form of poetic verses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which were learnt by heart.
The intricate signs and abstruse symbols were incorporated in Celtic jewelry. Celtic craftsmen made jewelry from both Silver and Gold. Due to their captivating beauty Celtic jewelry was a much coveted commodity. Trade in Celtic jewelry comprising of rings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bracelets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flourished in Europe.
An important feature of Celtic jewelry is the elaborate knot designs made of highly complex patterns. The Celtic knots are created in such a way that they appear to be continuous. They are called as endless knots. While the actual symbolism of the endless knot is unknown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they exhibit a sort of timelessness on a close scrutiny
These endless knots along with the five fold symbols,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], triskelion and other symbols are a part of all Celtic jewelry. The Celtic cross and Celtic animals are engraved with the Celtic knots,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], spirals and five folds.
