It expresses the endless cycles of existence. Initially, however, my earliest impressions are Celtic knots from my
childhood in England. There's a magic about them that is hard to clearly articulate. On the moors, surrounded by winding
stone walls and ancient Neolithic bridges, the Celtic knot art carved in stone is full of mystery that transcends time.
Some information about the meaning of these Celtic symbols has been passed down through ancient manuscripts,
oral history and archeological conjecture. For example, the small triangular design on many of my pieces is said to
represent the three stages of the feminine: the maiden, mother and crone. I think it illustrates any aspect of the
trinity, the One becoming Three. However, no one can say for absolute certainty what the Celtic knots mean because they
point to something more profound than what language can express.
In terms ofdesign, I have generally worked with the traditional knots as a starting point without being limited
extensively by tradition. Many of my Celtic knot designs are original. Also, I use a technique of constructing the
jewelry that's common to Southwest Jewelers but rarely attempted by others making more traditional Celtic knot jewelry.
A sheet of "royal yellow" 18K gold is soldered on to silver, which is then worked to create the knots. The silver is
subsequently oxidized. The dark behind the gold serves as a contrasting element to bring out the knot work. I enjoy
using gems to add spirit to the design. In one magazine, my work was accurately described as a "Celtic Southwestern
American fusion!"
My jewelry is made to last lifetimes and the workmanship is guaranteed unconditionally. I hope that my Celtic knot work
jewelry, and the sacred geometry expressed in them, is meaningful to those who wear it for years to come
