Solid Gold 9 Carat Lucas Spiral Drop Earrings
Handcrafted in solid 9ct gold in my workshop in Co. Tipperary, these elegant rectangle-shaped drop earrings feature the Lucas Spiral. Highly polished, the flowing spiral design catches the light beautifully, creating a contemporary piece of Irish-made jewellery inspired by the patterns of the natural world.
The Lucas Spiral celebrates the balance and harmony found in nature. Its graceful spiral form can be seen reflected in the patterns of seeds, leaves, petals and flowers, the spirals of shells and even the vastness of galaxies. These natural patterns inspired me to create this contemporary collection of jewellery.
A distinctive pair of solid 9ct gold earrings for anyone who loves nature, mathematics, contemporary design or jewellery inspired by the beauty and patterns found in the world around us.

Pewter drop earrings with Triple Spiral design on hanging display card. Legend: The most common of the multi-spirals is the triple spiral or Triskele, which for Christians represents the Holy Trinity, for the Celts the three stages of the feminine life cycle: maiden, mother and old wise woman. The Celtic Spiral is probably the oldest symbol of human spirituality and the most commonly recognized Celtic design motif. It has become a powerful symbol for creation and growth. It appears on a myriad of ancient artifacts, as well as on stone monuments such as Newgrange, in Ireland. It is uncertain what the religious significance was to the pagans of Newgrange. It may have been used simply for decoration, but it probably had some connection with the sun. It was a much favoured ornamental device used in the Christian Golden Age and remains a unique symbol of our Celtic heritage, with many modern interpretations.
