Celtic Heart Jewelry

Byron Mckeown-Sedona, AZ

1.5”x1.5” Sterling Silver Isle of Skye, Scotland

Byron Mckeown designed the Celtic heart. It was inspired by an early Celtic folk tale that tells of two young lovers. They lived in the village of Dunan on the Isle of Skye. On their wedding day the groom went with his kin to fish Raasay Sound. The weather turned, he drowned. His bride was so overcome with grief she died the very next day of sorrow. They were buried side by side in the Kirk yard. The next Spring a vine grew from each grave these vines climbed the wall until they tied themselves into a true lover’s knot in the shape of a heart. The Celtic heart is available in two pendant sizes, the smaller as earrings, and a bracelet made from the smaller.
