If symbols of death and life intertwined are your thing, then perhaps our so-called Triquetra of Life is for you. A combination of two iconic Celtic symbols, the Triquetra and Yggdrasil, representing a warrior’s death and the tree of life, respectively.
The Triquetra portion dominates the centre of the pendant, forming the trunk from which branches split off. A pleasant reminder of the cycles of life and death, perhaps.

Is sterling silver real silver? The answer is a definite yes. Sterling silver is an alloyed form of silver which is much more suitable to use in jewellery and other metalwork.
Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver. In this form the metal is beautiful and suffers from minimal tarnish, but it's generally too soft and malleable for many uses, including making most jewellery.
Instead fine silver is mixed with copper to create sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This percentage of fine silver is why you will sometimes see sterling silver referred to as '925 silver' or hallmarked with a 925 stamp.
