Silver Celtic | JEWELRY PROFITS

In choosing wedding rings, it is also best that couples understand the meanings of the symbols that could be on their rings. While the wedding ring itself, which is a circle that has no beginning and no end, symbolizes everlasting commitment and love, there are also others that are crafted with symbols like the Celtic wedding bands that hold different meanings.

Understanding the Celtic Symbols in Celtic Wedding Bands

Celtic wedding bands have become quite popular nowadays. This is because many jewelers have been inspired to make their own works of art from the traditional Celtic designs used in the past. The most common Celtic designs are silver or gold Celtic wedding bands such as the Claddagh and the Celtic Knot.

The Claddagh Wedding Bands

The Claddagh wedding bands are the kinds of Celtic wedding bands that feature a design of two joined hands holding a heart that has a crown on top. Originally crafted by a fisherman by the name of Richard Joyce in the seventeenth century, the joined hands in the Claddagh wedding band stands for friendship, while the crown is the symbol for loyalty. The heart is, of course, the symbol for love.

The Celtic Knots in Celtic Wedding Bands

The knotwork is very much a characteristic of Celtic wedding bands, and it is one of the well-known styles of the Celts’ artistic expression. The interwoven knots in most Celtic designs have a universal meaning that signifies two unlike paths brought and woven together. In weddings, this means that the lives of the husband and wife are interconnected with each other. As these interwoven knots also seem to have no beginning and no end, they are also meant to represent eternity.

There are different types of Celtic Knots commonly seen in gold or silver Celtic wedding bands, and one of these is the Trinity Knot or what is also known as the Love Knot. The interconnecting three points of the knot in this type of Celtic wedding bands are said to represent both the Christian and Celtic symbolism. For the ancient Celts, these points represent the Three Gods and Goddesses while for the Christians, the knot symbolizes the Holy Trinity. The knot pattern of the Trinity Knot, however, is seen to symbolize everlasting love, eternal life, and spiritual growth.
