Genuine Dark Green Prehnite Triqueta Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings The triquetra is a triangular figure composed of three interlaced arcs, or three overlapping vesicae piscis lens shapes. It is used as an ornamental design in architecture, and in medieval manuscript illumination (particularly in the Insular tradition). Its depiction as interlaced is common in Insular ornaments from about the 7th century. In this interpretation, the triquetra represents the topologically simplest possible knot. The triquetra is often used artistically as a design element when Celtic knotwork is used, especially in association with the modern Celtic nations. The triquetra, also known as a "Irish Trinity Knot", is often found as a design element in popular Irish jewelry such as claddaghs and other wedding or engagement rings. Prehnite is a newly-found semi-precious stone. It was first described in 1788 and named for Colonel Hendrik Von Prehn (1733–1785), commander of the military forces of the Dutch colony at the Cape of Good Hope. The beauty of this stone is its semi-transparent colour, which makes it looks like high-quality jade. An inosilicate of calcium and aluminum, prehnite forms crystals of a pearly green or yellow luster. Particularly beautiful specimens are used to carve pendants or rings. 18 mm x 14 mm prehnite natural gemstone oval beads 33 mm x 26 mm silver color Triqueta knot Sterling silver hooks (only the hooks are made of sterling silver 925)
