How To Choose The Right Celtic Wedding Ring
So the happy time has come for you to choose your wedding ring!
Celtic metalwork has a long and distinguished tradition. By choosing a Celtic wedding ring you are benefiting from centuries of skill and craftsmanship. This article aims to give you some insight into the process of selecting the perfect ring – a ring that you will wear with pride for life!
Celtic Wedding Ring Styles
The first thing to be aware of is wide variety of styles available, each respecting and celebrating the proud traditions of Celtic art, metalwork and jewelry design.
Claddagh rings feature the centuries-old claddagh design – two hands, holding a heart, topped by a royal crown. These elements are said to represent friendship, love and loyalty. The traditional claddagh ring was originally exchanged in Galway as a token of marriage, which makes it a natural choice for your wedding day.
Trinity knot and Celtic Knot wedding rings feature Celtic knot, Celtic weave and interlace patterns – from simple, elegant weaves to beautiful, intricate designs. Celtic knots are a key feature of Celtic art and design, from pre-Christian times right through to the modern era.
Celtic warrior wedding rings feature designs based on the fabulous Ardagh Chalice, the finest example of Celtic metalwork yet discovered in Ireland.
You will also find rings inspired by Ireland’s rich cultural heritage, including the Book of Kells, the standing stone Celtic Crosses and the ancient burial site, Newgrange.
Meanwhile, a range of rings has been designed featuring inscriptions in Gaelic, the modern Celtic language of Ireland.
Choice of metal
The styles described above are available in a wide range of metals. If you (or your fiancé) has a yellow Gold Engagement ring you will most likely be looking for a yellow gold ring to match. However, if the engagement ring is of a white metal – white gold or platinum for example – you may choose from a range of white rings including white gold, platinum and palladium. Finally, if you are looking for a real ’standout’ ring you will find that designs are available in a two-tone combination of ‘traditional’ yellow and ‘classic’ white gold.
The perfect Celtic wedding ring
As you can see, jewelers in Ireland and abroad have worked tirelessly and creatively to preserve and renew the traditions of Celtic metalwork. Now it’s your turn to find the celtic wedding ring that inspires you!
