NECKLETS - Triple Spiral

 The triple spiral is one of the oldest Celtic designs. It was in use from the 7th century BC right up to the present. This particular one is based on an enamelled escutcheon from around the 7th c AD.

It is fashionable now to associate it with the goddess, and the womanly triad of maiden, mother, crone, but in ancient Ireland there were many triads, for example:

"Three hands that are the best in the world: the hand of a good carpenter, the hand of a skilled woman, and the hand of a good smith"
