Celtic Knot Ponytail Holder - Classic

This particular knot design is protective and is thought to have been commonly used on shields for battle and display. The four arms are representative of the elements, the directions, the seasons, or even the four gifts of the Tuatha: the cauldron, the sword, the spear, and the stone. Shield knots were talismans for protection against evil spirits, disease, and other misfortunes of life. The Celtic shield knot is closed and does not have any open ends; it can be said to represent unity as well as eternity.

This Celtic knot was sawn by hand, formed into a dome shape, and made entirely from sterling silver. Affixed on the back is a sterling band to accommodate a hair band. This was designed so that you may use whatever size or type of hair band you like, and you can replace the bands as needed. The knot measures 1½ inches in diameter.
