In our troubled financial climate, everyone is paying close attention to their budgets: if you are like so many this season, struggling to find affordable gifts for your friends and family that still feel special, you may find Celtic jewelry designs in sterling silver meet all your gift-giving needs.
Celtic jewelry has a richness of detail and an equally rich historical significance, especially for those of Irish, Scottish, or Welsh ancestry. By using affordable sterling silver for Celtic rings, necklaces, and earrings, artisans are able to craft special pieces that don't cost a fortune. You can enjoy the most traditional Celtic design elements, handcrafted just as gold jewelry would be, and be certain that your gift has an heirloom quality for a very reasonable price.
There are so many great choices for affordable Celtic jewelry made of sterling silver: you can pick and choose from Claddagh birthstone rings, delicate Ribbon of Life pendants inlaid with Trinity Knots, and Silver Celtic Knot Birthstone Family Pendants, with a special gemstone to represent each child.
You may find you can afford to give a set of earrings and a matching necklace to someone you love, for less than you would spend on one piece made of gold. This affordability will allow you to be more creative in your gift-giving this season.
Consider a Silver Pearl Set Trinity Knot Necklace with matching pearl drop earrings for a stunning combination she'll truly treasure, and reach for again and again. For about one hundred dollars, you can buy a set like this, each piece crafted by hand and assayed in Ireland itself: buying Celtic jewelry crafted in Ireland is the surest way to be certain your purchase is authentic and genuine.
With so many women choosing white gold as a more modern alternative to yellow gold, you may find that your silver Celtic jewelry gives the sleek, fashionable look of white gold without the larger price tag: you can have the same effect for much less money by choosing silver designs that are designed to the highest standards.
Saving money on precious metals will also allow to you enjoy jewelry that is embellished with emeralds and diamonds. You will be surprised to discover how reasonably priced some emerald and diamond Celtic jewelry is, when it's crafted of fine sterling silver instead of gold.
For example, a pair of Silver Trinity Knot Emerald earrings can be for less than fifty bucks, and they are absolutely beautiful. The delicate lines of the Trinity knot represent the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit in Celtic art and history, and the central emerald that decorates each Trinity Knot is a little reminder of the velvety greenness of the Emerald Isle itself.
Gifts with a story behind them are the most meaningful of all: you can enjoy letting your friends and loved ones know what the symbols on their jewelry mean, and how they relate to faith, love, and loyalty in Celtic lore. At Christmas, the symbols of Celtic jewelry become the perfect complement to the celebration of the Birth of Christ.
If you are on a budget, you can still enjoy the thrill of giving the woman in your life a beautiful Trinity Knot and Pearl Ring, in a pretty gift box! Every woman loves to get jewelry at Christmas time, especially from the men they love. It's possible to be sensible and avoid overspending, while still making a real statement with your gift.
No matter what her taste is, you can find something that is just right for her. The intricate knot work of Trinity Knot rings, earrings, and necklaces, are subtle and sophisticated. If the person you are buying for would rather have something more colorful and whimsical, a birthstone Claddagh ring would be the perfect choice. You can customize the ring according to her month of birth, making the gift seem even more personal.
The story of the Claddagh is part of the Irish storytelling tradition: Robert Joyce, and Irish fisherman, was kidnapped by a goldsmith and forced to work for him. He left behind the woman he loved, and he fashioned a special ring in her honor, with two tiny hands gently clasping a crowned heart.
Throughout time, people have given each other Claddagh Rings to celebrate their love and faith in each other. A silver Claddagh birthstone ring is romantic and whimsical: the symbols and the bright stone make this ring stand out. Again, it will be beautifully boxed for gift giving, and it is sure to be appreciated forever.
Silver Celtic Jewelry can be a welcome way to please your loved ones this holiday season, and a practical way to economize in tough times: it's easy to have the best of both worlds with affordable designs like these.
