Genuine Earthy Mookaite 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. Mookaite is an unofficial name for a specific form of silicified porcellanite. In strict geological terms, this material is actually a type of radiolarite found in the Windalia Radiolarite rock formations in Western Australia. Mookaite is used for making colorful, finely-polished ornamental stones that come in a wide range of colors: White, cream, yellow, brown, red, maroon, and purple. 17 mm x 13 mm x 5 mm moukaite oval beads 33 mm x 26 mm silver color Triqueta knot Sterling silver hooks (only the hooks are made of sterling silver 925)
