Marcasite jewellery is made up of pieces of Pyrite (Fool's Gold) normally set into Silver.

The Triquetra with three points became known as the Trinity knot and was used to indicate the Holy Trinity in Christianity. The symbol pre-dates Christainity and the Celtic Druids celebrated the number 3 as a mystical and perfect number. It is thought this design originally represented the continuity of life.
