Celtic Revival Jewelry: Jewelry manufactured in Ireland in the mid 1800s that drew inspiration from Celtic archeological discoveries. The favorite motif was the brooch. These were often crafted in gold or silver.

Another offshoot of the Queen's fascination with the Scottish countryside was the popularity of the Celtic Revival Cross, worn as a pendant or pin.

For example, the French used the line in a figurative way, depicting vines or locks of hair. In England, the emphasis was on the line itself, inspired by a Celtic Revival.
