There are a few points to think about when choosing your wedding bands. The first is the metal. Many wedding bands are now made with a combination of metals. With the Celtic designs a preferred choice is a white gold inner band and a yellow gold trim; or vice-versa. Having a two tone ring means that the wedding band will easily fit or match with other jewelry.

If you're going for a conventional Celtic engraving then this could usually be found on the inner band. Men will most likely choose the Warrior design. This dates back to the 8th century Ardagh chalice. It has come to symbolise strength and commitment.

The designs for women's rings are more the knots and twists; frequently with the trinity incorporated into the design. These designs have 2 lines intertwined and they don't have any beginning and no end. The trinity is a specific Celtic knot which symbolises the continuity of life and love. On some of the easy designs this could be the sole symbol etched nonetheless , on more complicated ones the entire band will be covered with the trinity woven into the design.

The Celtic wedding rings are popular because of their glorious blend of style and symbolism.
