Beautiful Celtic Wedding Rings to Represent Your Love
Beautiful Celtic Wedding Rings to Represent Your Love
At Timeless Wedding Bands, we believe that when it comes to choosing a wedding ring to represent the one-of-a-kind connection you and your partner share, Celtic wedding rings are a perfect choice.
Created thousands of years ago, Celtic symbols stemmed from a collection of stories, interpretations, and beliefs gathered by Irish and Scottish artists and dictionaries. The symbols depicted on Celtic jewelry are easily identifiable because they are made of exquisite gold and always illustrate three elements: friendship, love, and loyalty. Celtic rings are particularly sacred because they begin with an open circle that symbolizes wholeness, perfection, order, and infinity. Who wouldn’t want their marriage to be represented by these profound messages?
Celtic jewelry obtains a gorgeous style and design. Beyond beauty, one reason people are drawn to Celtic wedding rings is because in Celtic society, jewelry is viewed as a powerful force that has supernatural properties to keep those who wear it safe and blessed. Integrating these spiritual elements into your marriage through your wedding ring creates reassurance of your sacred bond and calms the minds, hearts, and souls of you and your partner.
The meaning of Celtic rings varies depending on the metals, stones, and designs that are used. Where did each ring style come from and what do they all mean? Today, we will decode the secret meanings of your favorite Celtic looks.
The Circle
Though a plain circle is not typically seen alone on Celtic jewelry, it is the starting point for many styles and designs included in Celtic wedding rings. Celts view circles as essential shapes because of their relation to the structure of the planets and the fluid movement of the solar system.
The circle is universally known as the symbol for the sun, but Celts view circles as a representation of clarity, awareness, completion with renewal, and the integrated self. The circular shape and surface of wedding rings allow artists to design Celtic patterns on rings in a way that flows dynamically. Having any circular, Celtic design on your wedding ring represents a change within permanence and symbolizes the fascinating and ever-changing dynamics that are soon to come throughout your marriage.
The Celtic Knot
Used to express affection for men and women, a Celtic knot is a great ring style for anyone who wants to display their love with great purpose and emotion. In ancient times, gifts that involved Celtic knots would be given with best wishes of longevity or luck with new endeavors. In other words, the perfect design to mark the beginning of a new marriage!
A Celtic knot is a loop without any beginning or end that reminds you of the timeless nature of your spirit and the endless limits of your love. There are multiple styles of the Celtic knot, but the universal infinite path represents a perpetual cycle. Our men's Celtic Knot Wedding Band showcases the Celtic knot pattern within a titanium center with thin, narrow bands surrounding the knot. This powerful look is perfect for any man wanting to make a significant statement as he embarks on the new journey of marriage. Our women's Celtic Knot Wedding Band is similar to our men’s Celtic ring and exhibits a contemporary and elegant style through a beautiful white gold metal.
The Trinity Knot
Definitions of the meaning and significance of the trinity knot differ between Christians and non-Christians after Christianity incorporated this knot into their manuscripts to symbolize the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. However, the Celts originally viewed the trinity knot as a representation of natural symbols such as the three elements of the earth: earth, fire, and water. On a spiritual level, this symbol also represents life, death, and rebirth. No matter which symbols fit best with your views on the trinity knot, its underlying meaning of three interconnected entities is the perfect way to begin your marriage.
Braided
Braided bands are quite popular for Celtic inspired rings as they also represent endless love. The Carlow Wedding Band displays a continuous a triple braid that wraps all around the band to represent endless love as the braid has no start or finish. The Galway Wedding Band integrates the theme of three into its ring pattern. A gorgeous triple braid style is found the center and is surrounded by two solid rims. The see-through aspect of this ring not only allows you to gaze into the many details of the braids, but it also allows your finger to breathe as you perform daily tasks. This ring comes in metals for both men and women. The men’s ring is typically seen in yellow gold while white gold is the popular choice for women.
The Celtic Cross
The Celtic cross is a diverse representation of Irish and Christian culture and history. This symbol combines the cross with a circle surrounding the intersection with Celtic knots incorporated throughout the design. The circle in the center of the cross symbolizes eternal life where the outer circle represents the sun. The underlying meaning of the Celtic cross relates to navigation in a spiritual world or a sacred place to connect with the divine.
Our Celtic Cross Wedding Band displays a polished and magnificent Celtic cross carved meticulously four times around the band. This ring is simple in its look, yet it reveals significant meaning as the cross can also represent a joining of divine energies and navigation. With this simple look, you can convey your energy with a higher power, as well as a symbolic compass that will guide you through the journey of your marriage.
Spirals
The Celtic design of spirals depicts a beautiful and unique look. While spirals may be thought of as a simple design, the meaning behind this pattern is that it generates from the center but unfolds dynamically. This symbolism aligns with marriage as you and your partner begin a new life together and adjust and progress wherever life takes you.
Arcs and Waves
Recurring arcs and waves are popular Celtic symbols. Repeated arcs that are parts of circles or uniquely intertwined create a flow of energy or harmonious balance. A perfect depiction of true love in Celtic tradition can be found in our Longford Wedding Band that presents breathtaking weaves looping over and under each other. For men and women, this ring can be made in any combination of metals, widths, and sizes.
