Celtic Cross with Celtic Knotwork Ring (Sterling Silver)

Peter Stone Jewellery (218) - High quality jewellery manufacturer
The Peter Stone Company purchases raw silver and produces their own true .925 sterling silver alloy in their own factory. All rings are cast to size and craftsmen cut and inlay each stone for a perfect fit. Every piece of jewellery created is hand polished not tumble polished, which leads to a high quality finish that is noticeably different.



Peter Koslowski had been working on merchant ships since 1983 while living in Sri Lanka and was fortunate to be exposed to an abundance of precious stones and he began to purchase and trade them, as well as silver. During this period he also studied gemology and jewellery making in a number of countries. This then lead to the founding of the Peter Stone Company in 1992 in Bangkok, Thailand, where he still resides.

Celtic Cross (7) - Harmony, balance, spiritual
The Celtic cross is similar in essence to the Christian crucifix, with the added addition of a circle surrounding the point where the four lines meet in the centre. It gets its name from its heritage, where it was found in parts of England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland where early Celtic Christianity thrived.

The four "arms" of the cross have been interpreted as representing the four elements of earth, air, fire and water, the four parts of humans, namely mind, soul, body and heart, or the four directions of the compass, north, south, east and west. The distinctive circle on Celtic crosses is believed to represent wholeness, and the female energy of the earth, whereas the arms of the cross are the male energy. Joined together, they signify the moment of being when the two energies are brought together in harmony and balance.

Another meaning for the circle is that it may stem from earlier cultures, where circles were used to represent the moon and a cross and circle together symbolised the sun. If that was the case, the Celtic cross may also have been an early Pagan symbol of the sun.

As such, the decorative cross can be adopted as both a symbol of Christian belief and of one's deeper spiritual roots.

Celtic Knots (14) - Celtic sacred artistic expression
Celtic knots are sacred symbols passed down from the Celts (a name given by the Romans to groups of independent tribes with the British Isles). There are countless different designs all depicting lines that interconnect and do not finish at one particular point. We would like to attribute specific meanings to many of them, but often they were simply means of sacred expression. Just like the Buddhist eternal knot they are expressions of the infinite, never ending nature of life and creation. Knot work similar to this, from different cultures, can be seen throughout the history of Europe, and the Eastern world, many of the symbols thousands of years old.

Mentally unravelling these knots and following the flow within each piece can be seen to occupy the mental mind with deep concentration thus leaving us open to the deeper more divine side of life and to something more profound than language can express.
