Symbolic Meaning:
These Basket Aria earrings are elegantly crafted in 100% Recycled Sterling Silver and combine two powerful symbols - the Celtic Shield and the Trinity Knot.  Latin for “three cornered”, the Triquetra symbol is also referred to as the Trinity Knot or Celtic Triangle.  The interlocking loops create the intersection of the three circles, which means that there is no beginning and no ending to this knot. The symmetrical lines suggest harmonious and balanced flow among the three aspects. The symbolism runs deep encompassing infinity, eternity, protection, equality and divine femininity. There are various “trio” meanings to this knot including “Mind, Body & Spirit”, “Past, Present & Future”, “Father, Son & Holy Ghost”, “Earth, Wind & Fire”, “Maiden, Mother & Crone” and “Life, Death & Rebirth”.  The Celtic Shield Knot is an ancient Celtic symbol of protection. This knot was used on battle shields or placed at the side of those who were ailing, in an effort to ward off any dangers or evil spirits. Its unique design contains four distinct corners. A Shield Knot has a square shape or has the appearance of being a square within a circle. In addition to being deeply rooted in the culture of the Celts, the Shield Knot was believed to have been used by other cultures for its protective power.   Wear this symbol confidently, safe in the knowledge that you are protected and eternally loved…©
