This Celtic motif is also seen here in Wales, and in the Isle of Man.
Usualy worn around the neck, or seen on old stone work and horse
brasses.

Yours is very realistic, but I also like your chain.

High (finally back after looking through hundreds of unread postings since
September... yuck!)!

An Triskell Nevez - is that Gaelic? I presume "Triskell" is the word for the
tripartite metal ornament, for "tri" is a very basic
Indo-European root word for "three"... but "an" and "nevez"? Could "Nevez"
mean "new"?

That's Breton language (similar to Wales Welsh, Cornwals Cornick and Isle of
Man Manx) which are Celtic but different from Gaelic (Ireland and Scotland)
Triskell (yes "tri" is "three" :) is the symbol of the three elements known
by Celtic ancient peoples: Earth, Water and Fire.
"An" stands for "The" and yes "nevez" means "new".
Good guess :-)
