Celtic Medallions and Pendants

Hello! Thanks for stopping in. I've got several hundred pieces and this is just a start. I'll try to keep adding pieces as time permits.

The division between Norse and Celtic is somewhat arbitrary. One is largely derived from the other, and there is a lot of crossover, so be sure to visit the Viking Medallion Page as well.

They do not come with chains. There is such a variety of chains that I think you are better off buying one locally. You can get a far better selection, and a better price, at your local discount store than I could provide.

 ** As you will notice, There is no longer pricing for these on this website, Information only, Please visit https://ragweedforgestore.com/collections/jewelry For Purchases and New models**

Eponis Quatrafoil

#5149; The Eponis Quatrafoil seems to have been a fairly common motif in the early migration period. This one is based on an original in my collection. I have since seen a number of similar peices, all done in bronze. The original was done as a fibula, but we've chosen to do this piece as a pendant. It's about 1 3/4" tall,

The Lord and Lady Pendant

#SHREW-1; This clever pendant depicts the Celtic Lord, and turned so the other end is up, also depicts the Lady (or vice-versa if you prefer). There is only one pendant shown in the images. The back is arranged with a slider bar so you can switch it without taking it off the chain. It's about 1 1/3" tall, and an inch wide.
