Add a dash of strong celtic style to any look with this substantial sterling silver dog tag. A grid of 94 steely black spinel stones draw the eye, set in a handsome celtic knot frame. The unbroken celtic knot design has strong symbolism linked to eternity and constance. The four polished silver corners contrast beautifully with the intricate knot-work which is oxidized to give an old world feel and pair with the black spinel stones.
Used in jewelry since antiquity, intriguing and durable spinel was treasured by kings and emperors and traded as spoils of war in ancient times. It has often been mistaken for precious stones like ruby or sapphire as it occurs in a rainbow of colors.
The black variety of spinel is a hard and durable gemstone with a high reflectance giving a somewhat steely shine that catches the eye. Thought to ground the wearer, bringing balance, passion, and strong resolve, spinel's durability makes it an ideal choice for mens jewelry that needs to stand up to tough wear.
Durable, rugged, and robust with an heirloom weight, wear this sturdy dog tag with confidence knowing the spinel stones are securely set in handsome sterling silver. This fine sterling silver is hallmarked here in Ireland at historic Dublin Castle attesting to the top quality of materials. Rest assured your pendant has been crafted with the highest standard of craft and care.
