These handmade copper earrings are Celtic trinity knots. The Celtic trinity knot (Triquetra) has many meanings. It represents the Holy Trinity in the Celtic Christian church. It also represents the power of three in stages of life (maiden, mother, and crone), forces of nature (earth, fire, and water), earthly domains (earth, sea, and sky), and lunar and solar phases. It is also known as the Irish Love knot, it's endless intertwining curves representing eternal love. This is a versatile and eye catching design suitable for any occasion.

 

Copper - I use natural 100% copper wire to create copper jewelry items. It is not treated with a lacquer or wax. Copper naturally oxidizes over time and develops a patina. Some people love that look and some prefer to keep it shiny. Slow the oxidization process by wiping your copper jewelry with a soft clean cloth before and after each use to keep it clean. You can easily clean oxidized copper jewelry and return it to bright and shiny by soaking it in a mixture of lemon juice and salt for 30-60 seconds, rinse with water, and dry. Try it with a penny.
