Nevern Cross Brooch:
Reproduction of the uppermost piece of the market square cross in Nevern Wales. The

Brighid's cross) The exterior arms of the cross contain trinity knots, representational of the four trinities of birth, death and rebirth; of body, mind and spirit; of the triple god; and of the triple goddess.
The Original Nevern Cross sits in what has now become a church cemetery.

Celtic Cross Brooch with Amber:
Representing the four directions as they apply to the land
and the returning sun. The spirals are representational of the whirlpool and whirlwind, doing and un-doing. The stone in the center is amber. Amber is actually a fossilized tree resin from a
now extinct tree. Within the animistic beliefs, this still living essence of an extinct tree could tell of the past. Assisting with simple absent-mindedness, it was also said to be used to help the
mind find its soul.
