Jewellery may have been inspired by the 8th Century artefact which today is housed in the Trinity College Dublin Library. The Book of Kells is a Celtic, illuminated manuscript with motifs such as the Trinity Knot, Celtic Knot, and nature imagery which you can find today in our designs. A Book of Kells piece from our collection is handmade in Ireland and available in a variety of metal choices
The illustrations and ornamentation of the Book of Kells surpass that of other Insular Gospel books. The decoration combines traditional Christian iconography with the ornate swirling motifs typical of Insular art. Figures and mythical beasts, together with Celtic knots and interlacing patterns in vibrant colours, enliven the manuscript’s pages. Many of these minor decorative elements are imbued with Christian symbolism and so further emphasise the themes of the major illustrations.
Kells pendant is also available to make a matching set.
