If the intricate designs and patterns of Celtic Knots are one of the most distinctive features of Celtic Jewelry, than the Triquetra or Trinity Knot is one of the most widely recognised and common of the Celtic Knots.
A Latin name, Triquetra means three-cornered, and although
there are many theories suggested for the definition of this popular design,
what remains a common theme to each is that they mention the significance of
three parts, which depending on your beliefs can be interpreted as Father-Son-
Holy Spirit, Mother-Crone-Maiden or Mind-Body-Spirit.
The Trinity Knot or Triquetra adorns many Celtic pendants
and Celtic earrings, and in recent times Celtic Knot Jewelry featuring the
Triquetra have become popular Irish gifts and souvenirs from Ireland. This
growth in popularity could be linked to the modern day representations and use
of the Triquetrea upon the cover of the “Book of Shadows” within the America TV
show Charmed, its use within the design of the Led Zeppelin Album – Led Zeppelin
IV or maybe its use in the fashion label Lionheart Apparel Clothing.
