Bronze openwork Apahida triscele drop earrings on gold-plated sterling silver hooks.
The triscele is commonly found in late Celtic art and is thought to have some Roman influence, although fine examples are found in the native art of Ireland and Scotland. It is thought to represent the three realms of Celtic lore: the past, the present and the future. One of the most popular of Ancient Celtic designs, it survived well into the Christian period, probably because it could also be considered to represent the Holy Trinity.
Width: 16mm Length (incl. hook): 32mm
Supplied in a satin-lined gift box

I absolutely love them! I had purchased one set of earrings before from St Justin at the National Eisteddfod in 2013 – the Merlin’s spear design – and they have been much admired. So I came back to St Justin as I love your designs. Bronze is such a wonderful alternative to gold in these days when gold is ridiculously priced. They are beautifully crafted, a good weight but not heavy to wear and catch the light. I keep walking past mirrors to look at them as I am so pleased with my purchase. They also came really quickly – ordered Monday mid morning and arrived by lunchtime post on Tuesday.
