Small Celtic Celtic Cross

Celtic Crosses are a traditional cross with a circle behind it to represent the Sun, which was an important part of Celtic culture. This Celtic Cross is manufactured in Dublin by Solvar.

Throughout Ireland and Scotland, the Celts crafted these magnificent symbols in stone. Celtic Crosses predate Christianity and were first used by pagans to worship the sun. In pagan times the circle of the Celtic Cross represented the Sun, being the center of their lives. It was not until the 4th Century AD when it was introduced by the first Christian Roman Emperor Constantine, that the Celtic Cross was used to represent Christians victory. During the great conversion of many pagans to Christianity, Christian philosophers adapted the Celtic Cross, and taught the meaning of the circle to represent Christ, the center of Christianity.

Our master designers have created a unique range of striking Crosses, and this sterling silver Celtic Cross is no exception. The Cross is a powerful symbol of faith dating back to the ninth century, and this version is engraved with iconic Celtic knot-work with a circular design to symbolise eternity. This stunning sterling silver Celtic piece has been Irish hallmarked in Dublin Castle.

Available in sterling silver, this is the perfect size for a child or adult.  This cross arrives to you boxed on an 18" chain and is approximately .4" wide and .75" tall.
