Irish Silver Trinity Knot Earrings with Plain Silver

The Trinity Knot, or the Triquetra, is one of the most common of the knot ilk. The term Triquetra comes from Latin, and it means “three-cornered”. All of the various interpretations agree on a culmination of three parts. Early Christian understanding views the symbols as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Another understanding can be found in a more metaphysical arena where the three corners represent mind, body and spirit.
