there are all kinds of animated knots on this site. Some are the traditional Celtic knots.

It is very hard to tie celtic knots in real string, as the knots have a lot of corners and open spaces that string will not keep.
You can tie the knots pinned down on a board and stiffen before you take it of, but that is not a guaranty that the knot stays in shape. And hemp is known to change colour dramatically when wet, and when treated with glue.

The only knottyer I know who ties celtic designs with success is using silver and gold, it is Loren Damewood, also known as Goldenknots, an example:
Main site, see galleries for more of his celtic work:

There is a book on the market which promises to use Celtic knots in jewelry, but they use basic Turks Head knots:
and other woven knots:
instead of beads.

Here is a link to a site where you can buy the book:

Sorry not to be able to help you further, but you have picked a hard one this time.
Feel free to contact me for more info or hints.

There is a website called animated knots by Grog. This site is very useful for knots of all types.

Okay here we go;

First here is a site that teaches knot tying

Here are some celtic knot patterns

And here is a Blog for celtic knot tying with useful links especially for celtic knot tying.

Good Luck and don’t get sore fingers!

cute little studs, maybe with a bezel setting or your favorite gemstone…

like these:

i would say some cute dangaly or hoop ones in the bottom hole and maching studs in the other holes. or you could put very small hoops in the middle holes

earings will take attention away, Larger dangling angular shapes, Makeup can give you shade and highlight for your features.

vanessa hudgens has 3 holes

i like how she wears them

–

two at the top

and you can wear a dangly one at the bottom

xx

i have a cute diamond stud
its really small which i like and has a flat back so i can still listen to headphones, etc.
its surgical steel and is inserted through the back, the diamond part is screwed in after its inserted

well if it is hurting dont change them yet just clean them everyday and once they dont hurt u can change them

but if u are stretching them out wen ever u put a new size in wait at least 2 weeks other wise u will rip your ear

there are some books on that

and how to draw them

upper ear : studs. [hoops look terrible]
second piercing towards the bottom, studs [colored stones perferably]
normal, anything really. but with many piercing, hoops look the best with studs

but thats just my opinion

I really really don’t think that earrings can make that effect, or maybe the big kind of earrings can, but to improve your features, get a voluminous haircut. I’m Asian, so I have a flat nose. I just got some top layers, short side bangs, and medium layers for a wavy look when I’m too lazy to straighten it. My hair is long btw.

labret bars are common although you can also wear bcr rings too they look nice and can be worn in the tragus (tricky to fasten tho)
Another is a barbell they are also popular for tragus piercings.
I have my tragus pierced with a labret bar at the moment x

you can buy Celtic Jewelry online for your price at ……..

cute & huge selection.

well, it shouldn’t hurt after the sixth week.
i think you should start off with small earrings,
and once you get comfortable take it up to hoops
and dangly earrings. it doesn’t hurt to change them
especially if you have a mirror.

I don’t think you can spot reduce your face. The only thing I can think of is to use earrings to draw visual attention up toward the upper part of your head. This way, people will likely encounter your eyes before they do your nose. So I would say short, slightly dangley, interesting earrings.

go on eBay and look up celtic jewelry. Should help!

Diamond studs. My cousin did that to her ears and she wore 3 studs. The 1st was red, the 2nd blue and the 3rd purple. They looked awesome! Im planning on getting my ears lk that!

i would stick with studs. just plain or if you want to mix it up..

what is a tragus and what is a labret?

You can find at this site

Witchcraft is simply tribal, old wives tales in practice. So no matter where you go, witchcraft is there. Get over it.

you need a picture and earrings cant do all that magic

large hoops oe dangle colourful or silver and gold earrings

thats really pretty. i dont think i can ever do that. it would hurt too much. so im not sure but maybe you can try the first hole, umm like the one people usually get first, have dangling earrings, and the other ones like small ones

different kinds of studs in different shapes and colors.

Hey in the mall by me there is a store full of only things Irish.. Im not posotive whats its called but i can find out for you and try to c what they have and maybe send it to you, thats suchan awsome thing your doing for your mom.. you’re a sweetheart

The claddah ring is classic Celtic symolism and is very popular now. It has two hands(symbolizing friendship) holding a heart (symbolizing love) and the heart has a crown over it (symbolizing loyalty). If you are in love, you wear the ring with the point of the heart towards you.

honey you can find anything at all in chinatown. (nyc)

That’s a rather open ended question. Most Celtic symbolism has nothing or very little to do with witch craft, unless it’s been “adopted” by modern witches. Even then the original symbolism still is the favored meaning.

I’d do a search on Celtic jewelery and look for things that you like and then research the meaning.

walkermetalsmiths.com

Well you can go to here you will find lots of Celtic jewelery.

Bidz.com is really good for all kinds of jewelry. I have seen Celtic jewelry but it is listed at random. It wouldnt hurt to check.

Claire’s and ardene do. They have really nice ones.

Take a some what large needle and make a hole in the ear and stick them in it.

That sounds perfectly fine to me. Just be sure to wear earrings for sensitive ears and clean your ears and you should be fine. By now you should be able to change your earrings. I don’t remember much from when I got my ears pierced (I was six), but I think after the inital six weeks you can switch earrings.

try piercing the ears of the bear with a needle first
to make the opening without harming the earrings

by the way that is such a sweet thing to
do for her you are so thoughtful & she is very lucky

well hope this helps
best of luck to you & your girlfriend =]

I think it is okay to start wearing a new pair. Just do as your mom said, sounds like she knows what she is talking about. Good Luck.

Yeah, I know Claires has some and probably Icing, too. I don’t have my ears peirced, either, so last year I did try magnetic earrings…and I didn’t like them too much. They start to hurt really bad once they’re in for awhile, if they are strong ones. But, come to think of it, you’d have to get strong ones…or else they’d be falling off every 2 minutes.

But, It’d just be easier if you got your ears peirced, actually. I’ve got mine peirced three times, but they ALWAYS close up, even after seven months. It only hurts right when they do it…and as long as you take carfe of them, they won’t get infected.

Hope I helped and best of luck with future ear problems! lol

To give a diamond is never a question of bad timing. All has to do with what she likes, what she would love and enjoy and what you want to give. Go ahead, make her happy !

um yeah i bet someone is good at identifying celtic jewelery but that person sure ain’t me

No, It would not spoil her in anyway but the diamond earrings signify your long lasting love. It is an ideal gift for the auspicious occasion as it would redefine your love towards your beloved.

This is a good, reputable company online:

I don’t think so. It showcases that you love me and want to give the most stunning things she love..I always expect my next jewelry piece,

Be careful. If the stud is too small or the ear is too thick, it will ruin the earrings. My suggestion? If you are going to do it, stick the ears with a needle first and twist them enough that there is a big enough hole in the ears for the stud to slide in.

Congratulations on 1st anniversary

Here is my question to you before answering yours:

Why are you questioning about it?

If you think it is not too much, go ahead and buy her one. But you are not sure….

If I were you, I would give her something not related to what you have given to her already. That makes more special to her. If you have already given her those jewelry before, the third one would not make better impression. Moreover, you are not sure if it is a decent present or not….

Something both of you will remember forever…. like a dinner at the special restaurant (it does not have to be a five-star restaurant), your homemade dinner, a day-trip or a hotel room with bunch of flowers.

My point, I guess, is that if you have already fed her nice jewelry a few times, you have already spoiled her. And don’t you spoil yourself either. Use your brain to make her happy without typical THINGS that, you think, women would like.

Listen to your mother, believe it or not, she does know a lot about many things. Your mother is 100% correct. It’s been four months since you got your ears re-pierced, and since you’ve taken great care of your ears, then you’re long overdue for different earrings. Go crazy! It’s safe.

I am sure you didn’t mean online but I find fantastic pieces on ebay.

Claire’s has super cute magnetic earrings. They are reasonable too. You couldn’t even tell they were fake!!!

Your additional comment was just what I was thinking when I read your question a little bit ago. Yes, I think you’re setting the bar way high fairly early in your relationship. She’s going to expect expensive gifts all along the way, and who could blame her? Scale back, have fun, make her laugh, give her a rose along with her favorite candy bar for no reason other than you love her, wash her car, and know that she’ll appreciate her next nice gift even more down the road.

There should be stainless steel piercing studs, with a sharp tip,
Wipe your ear with alcohol and rub it with a piece of ice then pierce the ear. I recommend marking the spot where you are going to pierce with a marker and check the evenness of the holes before piercing them. you can always change the earrings after they heal, it depends on how sensitive your ears are.

Hi there i’ve just had my prom and I don’t have my ears pierced either try this website i bought my dress and wonderful accesories from here they deal with every occasion.

amy .x

You usually have to wait 6 weeks before changing them out. But you have to keep earrings in at all times for about 6 months.

after one and a half weeks.

go with the gold one so it won’t get infected.

Clair’s sometimes has some cute clip on earrings. Try there.

Oh course not. Spend as much as you want on your sweetie.

Absolutely not….one year strong is a great accomplishment and i think thats the most important anniversary! if i were you i would go all out…but not for all of them..just this 1st one

If you can afford them, why not?

You can also do an amazing anniversary, for about $200. For example you can get her 2 dozen roses, make her a beautiful dinner, and give her a nice gold chain necklace with a birthstone charm.

claires has clip on earing and you cant tell that they are clip on’s, my sister wears them all the time.

It has been awhile since I lived there, but I know of 2 Celtic stores. One is in the Benson Downtown Neighborhood right on Maple St. I don’t know the name or address but it is on the northwest side of that strip.

The other is right off of Dodge St. on 49th (north side of Dodge). I would assume both places still exist. I seem to remember the Irish pubs a lot more clearly.

If you can afford them, they are just perfect.

If you are getting piercings in your ears, you can usually choose from several different earrings, some of which are those boring little fake gemstone ones, but that depends on where you go to get your earlobes pierced. Of course, you can always take the earrings out and put in different ones, but only after your earholes have then completed growing and won’t start to bleed or get infected. You can always go buy your own pair, but they have to be thicker, for the first time piercing. Afterward, you can’t wear them anymore, so don’t bother about anything expensive or really special.

These earings are all nice

No l don’t.

No, sadly. Wish I could be a help…Kudos to you for liking Celtic jewelry, though!

I have a claddaugh ring with knots around it,bought it from the pyramid collection catalog

A ring. It was a gift, so I don’t know where it was bought

No, I have never heard of it. Sorry…..

nope but I have Celtic tattoos

Yes, i have some triquetra earrings and some necklaces, don’t remember where I got it, but I love Celtic knotwork.

Jewelry looses a lot of value once it is second hand. To be able to come up with an approx. price idea, we need the weight of the items. Your white gold bracelet could be anything between $ 20 and thousands, all depending on weight and design.

You will only end up with approx. 20% of the money that was initially spent buying the items. If it means a lot to you, I wouldn’t sell it.

I want to add here, everything is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. Just because you spend $ 100 for a jewelry item doesn’t mean it is ‘worth’ $ 100. If you want the scrap value, what the content of solid gold is worth, you will have to weigh everything, calculate how much solid gold is in the lot and look up today’s gold price.

Cheers

50-70$

i most of the gold is 10k or 14k, its not going to be worth much. you’re also going to get far below what was paid originally for the jewelry.

about, $60 or $90. Maybe even more!!

Try shopirish.com I think they’ll have what you’re looking for. I get their catalogs all the time and they have a lot of stuff like that. Tell your boyfriend I said he’s a lucky guy. Slante’(health: in Irish)

MY ENGAEMENT RING
VALENTINE GIFT DIAMOND RING

This hot sliver ring I brought from

my mom ring…

id say my mothers pearls, thay were given to her by her father for her graduation from high school, which was the same day her parents died in a car accident. and my dragon necklace my guy made for me the day we met 27 years ago.

i feel a little story coming on…

when i was four my nana who hardly speaks english gave me a necklace from Rome in italy – her home country, it had a teeny weeny angel on it and she told me it was my guardian angel and if i wore it i would be safe in Gods eyes. so as a tiny kid with lots of nightmares of the boogie man, i wore it every day, day and night. but when i was 8 it fell off and i lost it. i remember cryin so much screaming that the burgulars were going to come take me away and i never felt safe for a while. last summer, me and my nana went to Rome for the summer and on our last day we found a necklace that looked just the same and she bought it for me. i havnt let it out of sight since and i never will. i love my nana x
