Genuine Earthy Rutilated Quartz 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. Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which contains acicular (needle-like) inclusions of rutile. It is a species of quartz, generally gold but occasionally silvery, coppery, or even black. Every individual stone has a unique pattern. While inclusions usually lower the value of a gemstone, rutilated quartz is an exception in this regard; the imperfections add to its desirability and consequent value. 20 mm x 16 mm rutilated quartz oval beads. 33 mm x 26 mm silver color Triqueta knot Sterling silver hooks (only the hooks are made of sterling silver 925)
