By Jane Lowden


If you are looking for a marriage band which is extra special then it is worth having a look at the Celtic wedding rings . Celtic wedding bands vary in their degree of intricacy and engraving, but they're all special.

It's vital to recollect that a wedding ring is rarely, if ever, removed; thus this has to be a practical ring as well as a classy one.

The Celtic designs are based around symbols from the Celtic history and way of life. A few of these designs are ideal for making the loveliest wedding rings. The traditional Celtic twist and knot designs are one of the most well liked choices.

There are several points to consider when selecting your marriage bands. The 1st is the metal. Many marriage bands are now made with a mix of metals. With the Celtic designs a popular choice is a white gold inner band and a yellow gold trim; or vice-versa. Having a 2 tone ring implies that the marriage band will simply fit or match with other jewellery.

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.
