Celtic Wedding Rings

Why the Celtic Wedding Rings are Such a Great Choice

A wedding ring is a very unique piece of jewelry and it has completely different requirements to any other piece of jewelry a person will ever own. Firstly, this ring is rarely taken off, and secondly, this ring has to be completely practical. You have to be able to wear your wedding ring through all the traumas of life and know that it won’t get damaged or in the way.

For many of our parents and grandparents there was an assumption that wedding rings would be a simple gold band. This has all changed now; more and more people are choosing rings which symbolism and designs.

The desire for something ‘a little different’ means that the Celtic wedding rings are growing in popularity. The Celtic rings have always been surrounded by symbolism and meaning and now more and more of us are choosing them as they seem to be able to say what we want.

The Celtic wedding rings come in two basic shapes. The first is the shape of a simple band, which is then engraved. The second style is where the shape of the ring is defined by the design and engraving.

The designs of the Celtic wedding bands are usually based around continuous lives which are intertwined or woven together. These are symbolic of the combining of two lives in an eternal and unending love.

Other symbols which are often incorporated into the Celtic wedding rings are the sun and the moon. The sun represents live and the warmth of love. The other symbol is the moon. This is often shown in its various states of waxing, waning and full. The moon is often associated with the progression of life as well as the stages of woman hood.

Many Celtic jewellers have their own distinct weaves which are a sort of signature on their creations. For this reason many couples will choose their wedding rings from the same designer. This way the rings can be different, to suit the tastes of both parties, but will be similar in their design as well.
