Celtic culture flowered in Europe well before the Romans built their empire. Spiritual, warlike and richly artistic the Celts and their heritage embody much of what we today consider romantic.  Yet many of the facts of Celtic history are shrouded in the mists of legend.  The last significant tribal culture – The Celtic tradition and religion was rich with symbolism, mystery, ritual, omens and signs.  These beliefs were expresses in a variety of beautiful designs and symbols found in Celtic stonework, metalwork and manuscripts.

“In the beginning” These words open the manuscript that is sacred to a fourth of the world's people. But they reflect an abiding curiosity that is shared by human culture everywhere – a thirst for knowledge about our past. Though not much is known about the history of the pendent, Forensic Authentication reports that it is Celtic in origin and dates back between the 2nd or 3rd century B.C.E. Discovered in a burial tomb, the pendent exudes the passion, power and mystery or our ancestors.

The making of our pendent (which is slightly larger then the original) was a painstaking process. The reproduction of this 3rd B.C.E. Celtic piece was hand forged and heat fused in the same tradition as the original antiquity. No solder or modern techniques were used in its creation. This technique was used in order to recreate the original look of the piece and to honor the ancient craftsmen who worked with extremely limited resources.
