Origins of the celtic ring
The development of Christianity in Ireland and Britain brought an early medieval renaissance of Celtic art between 390 and 1200 AD. Lots of the styles now thought of as typically "Celtic" developed in this period, and are found through much of Ireland and Great Britain, including the northeast and far north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland.
Outstanding works produced in this period include the Book of Kells and the Ardagh Chalice. Antiquarian interest from the 17th century led straight to the term Celt being extended, and rising nationalism brought Celtic revivals from the 19th century.
The eternal line of the Celts weaves out and in of the finely made design Carron to create a perfect Celtic ring for eternity. This art of an ancient people whose kingdoms stretched across Europe into Scotland and Orkney remain dynamic to this day.
Carron is a spectacularly scenic area of the Highlands of Scotland in Wester Ross which is thought of as one of the last outback regions in Europe. Loch Carron is a thirty mile long sea loch, fed by the Brook Carron near Strathcarron after flowing down Glen Carron. Yes, many places are named Carron in the area, including the town of Lochcarron. The area lies in Wester Ross with its nirvana of mountains, lochs, glens and hamlets of Applecross, Kishorn and Torridon. But to get to Applecross you want to travel the highest road in Britain. There's rich wildlife which includes pine marten, deer and otter and the area is known for its walking and climbing, boating and sailing.
Residue of Wester Ross ' Celtic heritage can be discovered in the Celtic legends and on Pictish symbols stones. And remains of one of the Celts ' languages is present in the Gaelic tongue and the local surnames. The Pictish kingdom in Scotland was Celtic and there's been a revival of their art by visual artists and craftspeople.
Among these is Ola Gorie whose online jewellery features several examples of a Celtic ring. Carron is one of her most popular.
