This Book of Kells Necklace in oxidised sterling silver features a semi-circle design encasing an interlacing cord design. This piece is finished with curb chain either side of the piece.
This collection is based on a beautiful illuminated Gospel book from the late 8th Century. The pattern of intertwining cords is derived from Eastern and Celtic art, and passed into the repertoire of British and Irish artists from the 6th to 9th Century. The interlacing design is found on metalwork and sculpted stone, as well as illuminated Gospel Books.
