Helen's Lyra Earrings were designed in 1998, and have remained the most versatile earrings in our entire collection. You can wear them with blue jeans, to the office or when going out on a more formal occasion. Their attractive shape suggests a heart without being cliché. Plus, the design looks good on everyone who wears them. All these factors make the Lyra an excellent gift choice. They come with a 14k gold ear wire that attaches with a French hook.

Meaning of Knot

Trinity Knot:

This knot represents the notion of Trinity, three aspects from one unity. The three interwoven points represent the connections between three related aspects of life, such as body, mind and spirit. In ancient Celtic goddess lore, this knot symbolized the maiden, mother, and wise old woman, and the earth, heavens and underworld. The symmetrical lines suggest harmonious and balanced flow between the three aspects.

Designer Information

Helen Chantler
Lead Designer & Co-founder


From an early age, traveling the world, I saw how art, craft and creativity brought beauty into everyday life. Jewelry, as adornment, has been an expression of art and culture, that can range from the legendary to the personal and intimate, marking occasions and holding memories.

Remembering the ancient Celtic stories and legends I grew up with in the UK brought me back to my tribal ancestry. Celtic design comes out of reverence for the earth and generations of tribal tradition. From this place, I have tried to bring contemporary style to motifs that are ancient and meaningful. I view my business as a community that must benefit human communities without harming ecosystems which is why I am pleased we work with 100% recycled metals and, when ever possible, ethically sourced gemstones.
