Camelot & Celtic Symbolism

 Sheila Smedley writes:

 

“Artists and authors have held a centuries-old fascination with the mystery surrounding Arthur and his Utopian kingdom believed to have been at Camelot.  

 

 

“Today we continue to recognize and acknowledge the strong symbolism and wisdom of the Celtic peoples.  The Camelot Collection of jewellery by Sarabande Treasures harks back to an ancient time.  Antiqued bronze and gold pewter, combined with an array of gemstones, indicative of those used in decoration and adornment in the Dark Ages, create this unique and distinctive collection”. 

 

 

 

 

 

“The Celts ruled a great portion of Britain and northern Europe before the arrival of Christianity. The symbols and signs of Celtic artwork held incredible power for the ancient Celts in every aspect of their lives, which is evidenced in the beautiful artefacts collected over past centuries”.

 

 

“The Celtic cross not only is a central symbol for Christianity, but in a number of cultures, the intersection of vertical and horizontal axes can represent the union of heaven and earth. Although the ancient Celts left no written records, their art and symbolism remain as captivating and poignant today as it did centuries ago”.
