Description from the seller
Silver Celtic bracket and two fibulas
Double spiral in central the central of bracket
Two Bowl fibulas crafted from gold wire with a coiled spring on pin running across, a catch at the opposite side, and little pendants with spirals ends.
Materials: Gold wire paired with a twisted silver wire charm or pendant suspended from the pin.
In the Celtic symbols and their meanings, the Spiral represents our spiritual nature and the potential for our soul's on-going growth. Like the universe itself our soul is ever changing and expanding.
Each type of Celtic Spiral has its own significance.
Clockwise Spiral: Represents the element of water. It may also embody personal power.
The double spiral is widely understood to symbolise balance, reflecting the harmonious symmetry of its two intertwined forms. This symbolism is often associated with the equinox, when day and night
are equal in length—a significant moment
in early Celtic culture
The spirals were a popular motif, symbolic
of life cycles and rebirth.
Measurements: diameter:
47mm.and 20x30mm.
Weight:5g
