The Mystery of the Trinity knot...
In Celtic pagan lore, the three corners of the Trefoil shape originally epitomized the three attributes of a Goddess: maiden, mother, and crone. To many Christian believers, the knot represents the three dynamics of the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And on a more basic level, the symbol can also stand for earth, air, or water -- or life, death, and rebirth. The Celtic Trinity knot invites a person to think about the influence of 'three' in her life, as represented by the triad of intertwining loops.
What is Gold Vermeil? Gold vermeil is the name jewelers give to a gold-on-silver plating process. Ordinary gold plate uses a base metal such as copper, nickel or brass and adds a thin layer of gold - usually around .5 microns thick. Vermeil instead uses Stirling silver as the base and a layer of 14K gold no less than 2.5 microns thick. Vermeil will not rub off and retains its luster, yet is more affordable than pure gold.
