Most of us wear a kilt pin of some sort; how many wear some sort of other jewelry as well? A clan crest ring, Saltire cuff-links, or whatever??

I have a couple of rings (one with stone, one without) representing Celtic dragons. These are not daily wear, but I like to wear one or the other occasionally.

Anyone else?

Other than the 1.5" chunks of wood (or teflon, or stone, or SS) I wear in my earlobes, I actually wear no other jewelry.

Boy, you got me there. What a surprise.

What few rings, bracelets and necklaces I wear from time to time are all from local Navajo or Hopi craftsmen/women and done in their traditional styles.

I am very big on Celtic knotwork. Have several rings and a choker I sometimes wear, again in a knotwork design.

my significant other gave me a claddagh ring I wear everyday.

I've been wearing a celtic knot ring for more than 10 yrs. now.
It's lasted longer than the 4 girl friends and 1 wife. Always reminds me of who I am and where my history comes from.

I have a half inch (or more) thick chain mail choker; does that count?

I always wear my Celtic knotwork ring and my Thor's hammer (since the early 90's). Like RCallan, they remind me of who I am, and the main wellsprings from which I flow. My wedding band (which is also knotwork) unfortunately quit fitting my finger a number of years ago, so it is now kept in a special place-otherwise I would not be w/o it, either.

I have a couple of celtic knot rings i wear away from work and a nordic rune i wear on a chain.

I wear a claddagh ring most of the time. When I wore my hair in a ponytail, a few years back, I wore ponytail holders with Celtic knots on them.

My hair's way too short for that, these days.

I wear a bracelet that is of 2 bands of twisted sterling silver. It's a torq (sp?) style with a triple celtic knot on both ends. Pretty thin. Not very heavy at all. I also have several knotwork, claddagh, and thistle rings I wear. I usually wear 2 or 3 rings at a time on each hand, because they are thick and heavy on my fingers. I also wear a celtic cross pendant on a flat type chain link type necklace. All of my celtic jewelry is sterling. I very RARELY wear gold. I just like the look of silver better. It is daily wear. Claddaghs someday, knots another, then maybe a mixture of them both the next. Depends on my mood.
I have only worn that cross pendant on me since I was 16. I haven't worn any other necklace since. And will never wear another afterwards. It is a constant on my neck. Given to me by my mum on my birthday when I turned 16, and I will give it to my son when he turns 16. I promised it to him, and I willed the necklace and pendant, to my son, and him only. Never to be sold, traded or given away for any goods, money or bartered in any way, and upon his death, he is to have it melted down and add it to his grandmothers headstone into 1 single tear drop, which the tear drop will be precarved after her death.

I've a celtic knotwork spinner ring I just got a couple of weeks ago that I wear now. I also have a thors hammer with celtic knots on it, based on a find from an archeological dig.

Other than that, I dont wear jewelry much. I did just buy my girlfriend a claddagh ring yesterday though.

My brother has a celtic/nordic hammer. Your hammer is it Thors hammer? Mjolnir? The knotwork is on the handle, right? It is supposedly making the face of Odin. A Viking/Nordic/North Celtic god. Thor, Tor, Thur!
Post some pics of the hammer!

The hammer is a Thor's hammer, reproduced from one found in Odeshog, Ostergotland, Sweden in the 10th century.

This is the original hammer on which mine is based. Mine is in pewter.

Apart from my kilt pins, I do not wear any other jewelry,no reason why just never do

Depending on the occasion-the hammer in either pendant or ring form.

Also, but not every day, The Irminsul as a pendant, and for special occasions The Armill.

Linked to the above, today I'm wearing a boar kilt pin.

From that my affiliations should be fairly obvious, but this is not the place to expand upon them-for more information have a look at the Kith of Yggdrasil site.

I never worn any jewellery although sometimes wear a Pictish wolf brooch on my jacket or jerkin.
However, I do enjoy making Celtic jewellery ( there's some examples here )

I like working with silver and titanium and although the titanium is harder to work the colours that can be obtained make it worth while. The ring in the middle of this photo is probably my favorite as I was trying to create the effect of the sun bouncing off of ocean waves.

I have 2 pieces I wear everyday.
First, I have a celtic knot necklace that my wife gave me when we were
dating. The second is a continuous celtic knot wedding band.
Similar to this one:

My wedding band has a Claddagh engraved in it. I wear Catholic medals under my shirt and one is a Celtic cross. When I finish up my current weight loss I am going to buy myself a Celtic knot ring for my right hand. (Down 60 lbs but still have 30 more to go.)

I have a Celtic knotwork ring and a Claddagh ring, along with a Celtic cross necklace. I only wear them occasionally, as I'm not really much on jewelry.

Like KML, I have a few items I wear daily. On the right hand, just two simple rings: On my index finger, a celtic knot ring and on my ring finger a Claddagh:

http://www.macsimoin.com/images/xmar...t/DSCN1755.jpg

The rings are silver and I've worn both of them for several years now (you can see how scratched and beat-up they are in the photo); however, I've been wearing rings like this for more than 20 years. Generally, for me, silver rings like these last anywhere from 3-5 years and I replace them when I need to.

The only other piece of jewelry I currently wear is a St. Patrick medal around my neck that's on a stainless steel 'forever chain' (no clasp, just a continuous chain):

http://www.macsimoin.com/images/xmar...t/DSCN1761.jpg

On October 7, 2006 I'll be wearing this 14k white gold band on the ring finger of my left hand :D:

http://www.macsimoin.com/images/xmar...t/DSCN1448.jpg

I wear a celtic ring on my right hand, sometimes a leather band on my wrist with a Celtic design, and a knotwork necklace. The claddagh and luckenbooth are tattooed on, so I don't wear either of those as jewelry

I have several necklaces I'm wont to wear: a silver encircled triskele, a silver triquetra (what everyone is now calling the Charmed symbol, sigh...), and a pewter greenman, all on leather cords.

My wedding ring is a Celtic weave. I have a small silver Celtic cross pendant and a Clan Mackintosh crestbadge silver ring that I wear regularly. I also have a large silver hand made Celtic bracelet. It is special to me, especially since the piper/silversmith who made it is very ill right now. Oh yeah, and square Celtic silver cuff-links my wife gave me to wear with the PC.

my wedding ring. others are kept in pocket as to keep a not lose.

I always wear a Thor's Hammer. When kilted I wear one of two torcs and two torc like braclets.

I've got a pair of these cufflinks:

The folks at DeSignet do good work.

http://www.craftycelts.com/celtic_torcs.html

The two I have are the Chieftan and the Bear. Not daily wear, but they do dress up a kilt and shirt nicely. Living where I do, though, I have had to explain that they are an ancient symbol of the Celtic warrior class and thus a token of nobility, and not an item associated with certain alternative lifestyle communities.

I wear two things: a pewter, celtic wolf pendant that I gave to my wife when we started dating (she stopped wearing it when we got married) and my wedding ring which has a knot pattern on it and which I ordered too big, so I wear on the pendant. I will try and take a pic tonight, I've been meaning to anyway.

Those last two sites linked are really nice.

The only jewelry I've got is a simple gold wedding band and a pewter Celtic Cross on a neck cord. My wife has a Claddagh puzzle ring as her wedding band.

Matt in Tx

I seldom wear any jewlery. I do have some cufflinks and a ponytail holder.

I have the wolf, and wear it pretty much constantly. I've had to explain thats its not a snake (the braided brass apparently looks kinda like one), that its not a dragon, and no I didn't by it here in town.
I am curious as to what kind of alternative lifestyles people would think they represent, since I am gay (and thats usually what that phrase means), and I have never had anyone gay or straight make a connection between my torc and my sexuality.

If anyone has an answer for Tiran please send him a pm or email.

Let's keep to the topic of what celtic jewelry folks wear.

I wear a celtic knot earing with a small crystal in the center.

I wear a gold Celtic Cross earring. It was given to me by my wife. Only my wedding band other than that regularly.

I don't wear a lot of jewelery, but I do wear a celtic cross necklace.

I've worn Mjollnir (Thor's Hammer) for quite a while. I cast it a cuttle fish bone in sterling silver, put it on a four strand leather braid.
It Celtic enough but that's a long discussion already entered into as some remember.
I almost never take it off.

On my wedding day, one of my groomsmen gave me a gold "shamrock" earring to wear.
A bit silly, but we had a good laugh for the day. :rolleyes:
