Genuine Yellow Ferruginous 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. With a nearly even coloration of brown, yellow, and red tones, ferruginous (hematoi) quartz tends to form crystals that are large and striking in appearance. They are often opaque. Though sometimes translucent, this type of quartz is never transparent. It gets its coloring from hematite or limonite. 19 mm x 13 mm oval ferruginous quartz beads 33 mm x 26 mm silver color Triqueta knot Sterling silver hooks (only the hooks are made of sterling silver 925)
