The Celtic Heart Earrings are a delicate piece of jewelry, measuring only 78 inches in length. The heart itself measures 58 inches. Crafted from sterling silver. The earrings are great for an everyday wear, and make an excellent gift for anyone who likes Celtic art. Heart knots are a quite recent addition to Celtic symbolism. Hearts as symbols of love date from the later medieval period but have become an established part of the contemporary Celtic repertoire in the last decade of the 20th century. Rendered in Celtic knotwork, the Celtic heart is a woven endless path representing eternal love. The heart in modern times was the center of feelings. However, many ancient civilizations considered the heart as the center of intellect and intuition, which we associate with the head. To the Egyptians, the heart was the core of an individual's life, will, and intellect and therefore it was the one internal organ left in the mummy.
