These small round hook earrings each bear the triskele symbol, which is further embellished with three smaller spiral-like figures surrounding it and an even smaller one at the triskele's center. The addition of these elements enriches the appearance of the Celtic-inspired design, giving it more texture and visual interest. The entire composition, including its round border, is polished and raised to stand out boldly against the darkened, almost black, oxidized background. The opposite side is smooth and polished.
The triskele symbol is ancient, pre-dating even the Celts, but is still used by modern day Wiccans and Pagans. It has layered meanings, among which is 'movement' and 'progress', as well as such cycles of nature as 'life-death-rebirth', 'spirit-mind-body', and 'mother-father-child'.
