Celtic wedding rings are among some of the most unique and attractive wedding rings made today. Celtic wedding rings are sold in a variety of different metals and a number of unique Celtic symbols are often engraved on wedding rings. Celtic symbols include the symbol of the trinity: also known as the Triquetra; Celtic knots, the Claddaugh, and spirals.
The spirals that are commonly seen on Celtic wedding rings symbolizes growth and transition; thus, in terms of wedding rings, the spiral comes to represent the transition from being single to being married, or the change from walking through life alone to walking through life with another individual. The growth that is symbolized by the spiral, in Celtic wedding rings, comes to represent the endless growth a couple will go through in a marriage.
The Triquetra has three points representing the trinity and when engraved in a Celtic wedding band the symbol means that the marriage is spiritually fortified. Celtic knots have long been the symbol for eternity, and the knots on a wedding band represent infinite, eternal and undying love. There are different Celtic knots to choose from, all of which possess an intricate weaving. The intricate weaving of the Celtic knot also symbolizes the fact that while life is not always easy and can sometimes prove difficult, the couple will endure and remain strong together.
The Claddaugh is a Celtic symbol that contains two hands holding a crowned heart. The hands have come to signify friendship, a very necessary element to any marriage; the heart signifies the love shared by the couple, and finally, the crown signifies the undying loyalty the couple has for one another. When the Claddaugh is worn on the left ring finger, it immediately signifies marriage – when worn on the right ring finger, the Claddaugh ring signifies different relationship statuses.
History of Celtic Wedding Rings
Celtic beliefs that have persisted for centuries have always centered
on the idea that life is an eternal, ongoing ribbon of eternity. Typically,
Celtic wedding rings will often consist of designs including lines and
ribbons. These details signify an eternal connection of intertwining lives,
making Celtic wedding rings particularly pertinent to marriage. In Celtic
mythology, the main ribbon signifies Creyr, or creator. The creator is
synonymous with life and the bringer of babies. On many celtic wedding
rings, Creyr can be seen connecting the ribbons and acts as a link between
lives.
