Celtic Cross Brooch

Celtic cross brooch, a type of jewelry with historical and cultural significance, particularly in Celtic regions. This brooch features a circular ring intersecting the cross arms, a common characteristic of Celtic crosses. The brooch is adorned with multi-colored accents, adding to its decorative appeal. The metalwork has a textured, possibly hammered finish, giving it a vintage or handcrafted look. Celtic brooches, also known as penannular or pseudo-penannular brooches, were used as fasteners for clothing, dating back to pre-Roman Britain. The design of Celtic brooches often incorporates intricate patterns and symbols, reflecting Celtic art and beliefs. The Celtic cross itself can hold religious significance, particularly in Christianity, but it also has pre-Christian origins. The brooch in the image appears to be designed with a closed head or hoop, which classifies it as a pseudo-penannular type, similar to the Tara Brooch. 3 cm across
