Single spiral drop earrings in sterling silver. Legend: Perhaps the best-known of all Celtic motifs the spiral dates back to the 5000 year old tomb complex at Newgrange. Thought originally to have symbolised the Eternal Cycle of Life, Death and Rebirth, in later times it came to represent the Great Goddess and her threefold manifestation of virgin, mother and crone. It was a much-favoured ornamental device used in the Christian Golden Age and remains a unique symbol of our Celtic Heritage.
