celtic jewelry .
I like to make jewelry from celtic images/patterns, I made I nice silver
cross but I like to have more iamges available. Are there people who
have images available (in electronic form or other) or know homepages
that contain ones?
I carry celtic sterling silver jewelry, rings, earrings and pendants in celtic
crosses, knots and designs.
the biggest problem is the proliferation of the design.
It is safe to say that those receiving a claddagh will know
or will know soon that their gift is far from unique.
I am very concerned that money spent on claddagh stuff should be diverted
to excelent contemporary yet traditionally celtic designs and artworks.
You are right- and I state this on the pages- those who value the design
are entitled to their own opinions.
But what will the outside world say! I can see the unknowing bride to be
receiving a ring that she does not know about and is impressed with the
story provided until she finds that such designs are irish kitsch and are
far
from unique and are everywhere. She will have just another one of those....
So take a look at the folkloric pages and try to understand what the jewelry
industry is doing here. By all means if you value a kitsch design hey!
proudly
display your lack of immagination! But remember there are wonderful and very
worthy celtic artists who could use the money and would produce something
of uniqueness wonder and amazement.
