The Trinity Trefoil of Ancient Ireland...
The captivating icon of the Trefoil (or Trinity Knot) is in fact a single, unbroken line. An intertwining, never-ending connection to the infinite. Three separate curls are created in this graceful construction, each signifying their own individual but related idea. Celtic Christians will readily see the Holy Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While Wiccans and Celtic Pagans may see the Maiden, Mother and Crone. Those with a philosophical bent may see it as Past, Present and Future. You get the idea.

No matter what you choose to contemplate when you wear this piece, it is sure to bring you pleasure as well as a sense of connection.

What is Gold Vermeil? Gold vermeil is the name jewelers give to a gold-on-silver plating process. Ordinary gold plate uses a base metal such as copper, nickel or brass and adds a thin layer of gold - usually around .5 microns thick. Vermeil instead uses Stirling silver as the base and a layer of 14K gold no less than 2.5 microns thick. Vermeil will not rub off and retains its luster, yet is more affordable than pure gold.
