Genuine Dyed Howlite Triqueta Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings The triquetra is a triangular figure composed of three interlaced arcs, or three overlapping vesicae piscis lens shapes. It is used as an ornamental design in architecture, and in medieval manuscript illumination (particularly in the Insular tradition). Its depiction as interlaced is common in Insular ornaments from about the 7th century. In this interpretation, the triquetra represents the topologically simplest possible knot. The triquetra is often used artistically as a design element when Celtic knotwork is used, especially in association with the modern Celtic nations. The triquetra, also known as a "Irish Trinity Knot", is often found as a design element in popular Irish jewelry such as claddaghs and other wedding or engagement rings. Howlite was discovered near Windsor, Nova Scotia, in 1868 by Henry How (1828–1879), a Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist. It is commonly used to make decorative objects such as small carvings or jewelry components. The howlite stone can be dyed blue to look like the real Turquoise stone. Because this stone has gray veins, when it is dyed blue it kind of looks like Turquoise. 20 mm x 15 mm dyed howlite oval beads 33 mm x 26 mm silver color Triqueta knot Sterling silver hooks (only the hooks are made of sterling silver 925)
