Genuine Tourmalinated Quartz Triqueta Sterling Silver Hook 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. Tourmalinated Quartz is a type of clear rock crystal resulting from the fusion of white quartz with black tourmaline, producing the stone's uniquely striated appearance. Like many kinds of colorful quartz, prolonged exposure to light and heat will eventually alter its coloring and should therefore be avoided. Most of the world's stock is currently mined in Brazil. 20 mm x 13 mm water-drop tourmalinated quartz beads 33 mm x 26 mm silver color Triqueta knot Sterling silver hooks (only the hooks are made of sterling silver 925)
