Celtic Brooch "Triskelion"

Celtic Brooch with openwork triskelion motif.

This intricately openwork Celtic brooch, featuring an intertwined triskelion motif, is named after Cerridwen, a mysterious figure from Welsh-Celtic mythology associated with wisdom, inspiration and transformation.

The filigree-crafted Cerridwen Celtic brooch captivates with its harmoniously intertwined forms and the intricate openwork, which lends the piece a special lightness.

The central motif of the brooch is the triskelion, one of the best-known ornaments in Celtic art, consisting of three interconnected spirals rotating around a common centre.

Today, this triple motif is often interpreted as a symbol of the eternal cycle of becoming, being and passing away, as well as the interconnectedness of the past, present and future.

On the reverse of the brooch is a sturdy pin, which can be used to fasten a cape or cloak, or to hold the gathered fabric of a dress together decoratively.

Diameter: 5.4 cm.

You can buy the brooch in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.
Alternatively, you can also order it in 925 sterling silver (please note delivery time).

In Celtic mythology, Cerridwen is a powerful sorceress who guards a magical cauldron in which a potion of wisdom and poetic inspiration is brewed.
Particularly well-known is the legend of Cerridwen and the young Gwion Bach, who gains extraordinary knowledge through three drops of the magic potion. A magical chase ensues, during which both repeatedly transform into various animals. Eventually, Gwion is reborn as the legendary bard Taliesin.
The story of Cerridwen speaks of transformation, rebirth and the mysterious ways of fate. As such, it forms an evocative mythological link to the triple ornament of the triskele.
