Author	Topic: When, Where, What of Ring?
Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 09-28-2004 12:33 PM This small silver ring appears well designed and made. Can anyone suggest the meaning of the "sun" face and the curious symbol on one side which almost looks like three waves? There are no other markings. Very many thanks IP: Logged
Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 09-28-2004 11:28 PM My guess would be that these are symbols from the Wiccan religion. In my experience, there exists a large number of silver workers who produce items used in Wiccan services and featuring European Neo-Pagan symbology. You might try asking at Witches Voice about this.

Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 09-28-2004 11:57 PM Doing a little web research, I found a site: Wicca Store Catalog which has pieces very much like your ring design. It is called a 'Celtic Triscele'. And is symbolic of the Triple Goddess of the Celts. Check out this other site: [gone from the internet - mywitchshop.com/Pagan_Wiccan_Jewelry_Store/] Pagan Wiccan Jewelry Both feature silver work, as well as pewter. IP: Logged
Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 09-29-2004 02:50 PM FYI--the triskele design also represents the Isle of Man and Sicily. However, I agree with Dale that your ring probably involves Celtic/Pagan symbolism. IP: Logged
