BROOCHES - Moon/Wave (Circle)
This brooch is based on actual Celtic enamel work from around 100 BC. Most of the Celtic repertoire of images before the advent of interlacing (knotwork) was abstract bold and direct as in this piece.

It's meaning is obscure, but it may symbolize the moon's power over the tides,. The waves may represent the three powers of women: the power of purity as a maiden, nurturing as a mother, and wisdom in old age. (see also Triple Spiral)

All brooches can also be ordered as necklaces
