The Celtic knot is one of the most famous symbols of Ireland and Scotland and appears in the early Middle Ages, particularly in manuscripts, stone crosses and jewellery. It is made up of a single unbroken line without beginning or end, which was seen as an image of infinity, eternity and the cycle of life. For the Celts, the world was not divided into separate parts - nature, people and the spiritual world were closely connected, and it was this interconnectedness that the knot expressed. In Ireland it was often seen as a protective symbol and a sign of balance, and in Scotland it was associated with family continuity and tradition. To this day, the Celtic knot is a symbol of identity, history and respect for ancient roots.
Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, prized since antiquity. In ancient Greece it was associated with protection and sobriety, and in the Middle Ages it was worn by church dignitaries as a symbol of spiritual purity. In various cultures it has been used in jewellery, amulets and ceremonial objects. The most important amethyst deposits are found in Brazil, Uruguay, Zambia and Madagascar.
