Triquetra Celtic Knot Sterling Silver Ring

Some symbols don't need reinventing. The triquetra has been doing the heavy lifting for centuries, turning up in illuminated manuscripts, carved stones, and the kind of jewellery that outlasts every passing trend in the gothic and alternative scene.

In pagan belief the three interlocking points mark the stages of life, youth, adulthood and old age, though it's also been read as land, sea and sky, or the triple goddess depending on who's wearing it and what they're working with. Either way, it's a symbol that carries weight, and this ring wears it cleanly, with the knot rendered in solid sterling silver without anything unnecessary cluttering the design. The kind of piece you reach for constantly without thinking about it.
