The Celtic cross has been one of the defining symbols of Scotland's spiritual and decorative heritage for over a thousand years, its form found carved into standing stones from Iona to Aberdeenshire. The filling of a cross outline with continuous interlaced knotwork is a tradition rooted in the same illuminated manuscript and carved stonework heritage, the knotwork covering every surface with the unbroken, continuous strand that carries associations of eternity and faith in equal measure.
Each earring presents a Latin cross form whose entire face is filled with open Celtic knotwork, the interlaced strands running continuously across both the crosshead and the descending shaft without interruption. At the four arm terminals of the crosshead, the knotwork resolves into small outward-curving lobed forms that give each arm a gently flared, organic finish. The shaft carries a continuous plaitwork composition along its full length, the strands well-defined and clearly resolved. The knotwork throughout is open-worked, the negative spaces between the strands giving each earring a light, detailed quality. The silver carries a high mirror polish. Fish hook fitting above.
11.1mm width, 17.4mm height. Weight approximately 0.60g per earring. 925 sterling silver. Fish hook fitting.
