Genuine Zebra Jasper 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.
Normally mined in Namibia, zebra jasper (zebra marble) is especially valued for its distinctive and visually attractive ornamental potential. It is a popular flooring material for this reason, and it is in high demand among sculptors for its eye-catching pattern. When polished, its striations are thought to resemble a zebra's striping--hence its common name.
