Our Domed Triskele Pendant is one of most popular Celtic pendants for obvious reasons.

It's just large enough (1 1/4" diameter) to make a statement, but not to overpower.

Also called the Triple Goddess or Triskelion, this Celtic symbol is one of the oldest and most popular, even showing up in movies and on TV such as the show Charmed.

What makes this piece so striking as Celtic jewelry is the contemporary lines, rounded domed edges, and the high silver polish.

This Triskele, Triple Goddess, or Triskelion symbol has been found in many ancient cultures around the world. The Celtic people in the Bronze Age called it the Spiral of Life. It symbolizes the three cycles of life in many forms: body-mind-spirit, maiden-mother-crone, and land-sea-sky. It has also been found in pre-Columbian and ancient Hopi cultures.

When we started creating Celtic jewelry, silver was under $6 per ounce. Today it peaked at almost $19 per ounce!

That's nice for silver speculators, but it's not that great for those of us in the silver jewelry business, and here's why.

Silver doesn't have the perceived value that Gold has. Some people wear our silver Celtic pendants, Celtic earrings and such because they like the color better than gold, or because they can afford many more styles, but it's not for the investment.

As silver prices go up, our costs to produce go up, yet we can't really justify raising our prices to match. Put that together with a bad economy and it's squeezing many who produce Celtic jewelry (and other styles) out of business.

We're hanging in there thanks to our loyal customers, and because we've managed to get up in the search rankings for Celtic jewelry, Celtic pendants, Celtic earrings, as well as other non jewelry related terms such as the meaning of triquetra.

Hopefully, the economy will rebound because I doubt if silver will ever get back under $10.

Another year of selling our Celtic jewelry at shows and on our ever evolving web site has passed, and we'd like to thank everyone who crossed our path in person or online. 

This year saw us do fewer Celtic jewelry shows due to the economy, and the higher costs of traveling in our 20' RV. We also changed our web site in 2009, from a hosted solution to our new Joomla based site. We now have the flexibility to server you better.

We have plans to continue to broaden our offerings in 2010. We will be adding more styles, and we're looking into some very nice, high quality Titanium Celtic rings, and other unusual Celtic jewelry.

You may have seen our newest offerings, the Gold & Silver designer jewelry from a talented producer out of Canada. These designs sold out as fast as we could get them in the run up to the holidays. We expect they will be popular Celtic jewelry styles for Valentine's Day, and for those special birthdays, and other occasions where you need really original Celtic pendants, Celtic earrings and Celtic Necklaces.

We will be sending out our deep discount coupons soon for Valentines Day specials on Celtic jewelry so keep an eye out.

The latest designs to be available in our online Celtic jewelry store are the Window to the Soul pendants. (Celtic earrings to match)

As you can see from the photos, these are very classy Celtic Pendant designs, and also very unique. The design has Celtic knot work that is over a hollow center.

The inside is gilded in 24K gold, so that it shows through the spaces of the knot pattern. This is a subtle, yet striking effect when viewed from the right angle and in the right lighting.

That's why they are called the Window to the Soul, because you have to look inside to see the warm glow within.

Each pendant comes with an 18" sterling silver chain, and the bale for each Celtic pendant is large enough to accommodate a large diameter chain.

We have two Celtic pendant styles to choose from. One is the oval shape shown above, and the other is the round Celtic pendant shape, shown to the right.

There are matching Celtic earrings for each version.

We expect these to be very popular as the holidays approach, and since we have limited inventories of these between now and Christmas, don't hesitate if these are the the styles you want to surprise your special someone with.

We continue to search the world for the most unique Celtic jewelry designs to add to our collection, and we have a few new additions that definitely fit the bill.

These are in limited supply between now and Christmas, so if one strikes your fancy, scoop it up right away to avoid disappointment.

First we have our Convertible Celtic Pendant / Necklace, which can go from pendant to necklace in seconds. In a brilliant design, it is held together as a pendant by two tiny magnets embedded in the silver where the ends meet.

Gently pull it apart and open it up and it becomes a stunning necklace.

The style pictured above has five diamonds, and the one at the left has three, but both are sure to please the appreciator and collector of fine Celtic jewelry.

We will present our Silver with 24K Gold gilded pendants and earrings in the next blog post.

One of our favorite events every year is KVMR's Celtic Festival. This year (2009) it is October 3rd and 4th.

This festival is a perfect mix of great music, unique crafts, tasty food, and the best setting you could imagine.

KVMR Celtic Festival started in 1996, and each year it has grown, and in good ways.

I can't tell you how many peak music experiences we have had, both from our booth which is just 60 yards or so from the main stage, and from the short trips we take turns making when a band is particularly hot. (this happens often)

As you can see from the photo, the grounds of the Nevada County Fair are covered with trees, and the grassy meadow in front of the stage is full of friendly, Celtic music loving fans.

Part of the allure is that most everyone is dressed up in renaissance, or fantasy attire, making for a fun environment for shopping, playing, interacting, and listening to world class music.

One of my favorite memories from 2008 is from Sunday night when our friend Kim Silverman, the magician, was dazzling some foreign visitors in front of our booth with his close-up magic, while I was showing other attendees a few of our Celtic pendants.

This is just a sampling of the spontaneous happenings that occur throughout the weekend.

Do yourself a favor, and check it out.
