These earrings at first appear to be simple Celtic knots, but on closer inspection they are actually created from weaving together three elements - there are 2 hearts, one right-side up and one upside down, with an infinity symbol woven in between them. These earrings make a special gift for a dear friend or loved one.
Celtic knots are also known as "endless knots" because a true Celtic knot has no beginning and no end: tracing its path goes on forever - a symbol of eternity and the never-ending cycles of life.
The complexity of a Celtic knot is like the interlacing of a ribbon endlessly within itself: Over and under, back and forth, forever and ever. It's perfect as a metaphor for Life and the physical and spiritual interdependence among people and all living creatures.
Together, the meanings of eternity and interdependence create an even more powerful symbol for love, especially when two Celtic knots are woven together to become one. Such a knot represents two souls forever in love, friendship, or loyalty.
