Celtic Pendant (2 colors)
Choosing Celtic pendants in sterling silver
Celtic pendants borrow their look from knotwork and spirals found in old Irish and Scottish metalwork. This one is built around open scrolls, so it sits lightly against the neckline and does not look heavy even at 1 3/8 inches tall. It suits a plain tee as well as a dressier top.
If you wear your jewelry every day, sterling silver is a sensible choice. It is durable, and it tarnishes slowly when you give it a little care.
What chain works best
Because the chain is sold separately, pick one that matches the pendant's weight. A thin box or cable chain, around 18 inches long, lets the pendant fall just below the collarbone. A 16-inch length sits higher and shows off the scrollwork on a crew neck. Skip very fine chains if you plan to wear it all day, since a pendant this size can tug on them.
Matching other Irish-inspired pieces
Many people build a small set around one theme. A shamrock pendant is a natural companion if you like a simpler, more symbolic shape, though two pendants at once are usually too much, so choose one for the neck and wear the other on another day. A claddagh ring is a classic pairing for the hand, and a celtic toe ring carries the same knot design down to summer sandals. For a change of mood, a turquoise flower pendant gives you a colored stone against the same silver tone.
Caring for your pendant
Wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing. Store it in a small zip bag or a lined box, away from humidity. Take it off before swimming, as chlorine dulls silver quickly. If the scrolls darken over time, a silver polishing cloth reaches most of the surface, and a soft toothbrush helps in the tight curves.
