The Sound and Symbol of Ireland
The end of the year is a time rich in tradition, and traditional music. Christmas carols will soon be playing, and while everyone has their own favorites, hearing classic carols on the Celtic harp is always special and beautiful. For many people, nothing says Christmas like the gentle strains of Silent Night or Away in […]
Get Tied Up in Knots
Knots don’t always get much respect. Think about how we use the word. Don’t get your knickers in a knot. My stomach’s in knots. Not much good about knots in those phrases. But when you are talking about jewelry and design, Ireland wrote the book on knots, and the whole world wants to read it… […]

Try all on the wrist
When you’re in the jewelry business, you think about the body in a different way. All of the sudden, a hand can be naked. An ear lobe can look lonely. A wrist? Muffled, silent, a singer without a song and a dancer without a partner. Last week on the blog, we featured the Silver Celtic […]
Iconic Celtic Symbols – Inspiration For Our Jewelry
Celtic Symbols are inspired by designs that are hundreds of years old, such as those found in ancient Celtic Manuscripts including the 9th Century Masterpiece of Irish Art History, “The Book of Kells”. […]
