From the Proposal to the Honeymoon
Celtic Engagement Rings
Celtic engagement and wedding rings are becoming more and more popular these days.
There is a wide range of Celtic Jewelry designs which are very popular, all drawing their origins from the mists of time.
Celtic knotwork is extremely popular in Celtic jewelry. It is intricately ornamental and very striking when used in jewelry, although this is certainly not the only place where the Celtic knot can be found. Intricate interwoven ribbons form beautiful patterns that are ideally suited to jewelry. These interwoven ribbons can be used in wedding rings where they have a special significance. The engagement and wedding rings have two interwoven ribbons which are said to signify the intertwined lives of the two who are together. And the two ribbons terminate with Creyr, meaning creator in Welsh, who was the Celtic creator of new life, or babies.
Probably most well known amongst the various forms of Celtic jewelry is the Claddagh ring. This ring originates from the village of Claddagh in Ireland, from which it draws it's name, and is a friendship ring. The Claddagh ring has a very specific design and is most unusual and striking. It features two hands holding a heart which is itself surmounted by a crown. It is said that the ring symbolizes friendship in the hands, love in the heart and loyalty in the crown. When used as engagement or wedding rings, they are said to be the basis of a successful marriage.
The Claddagh ring is available in almost any precious metal like gold, silver, platinum, etc. Traditions vary from one country to another and the way the ring is worn has different meanings as well. For example, if the ring is worn on the right hand with the heart pointed outward, it means the wearer (typically a woman) is not in a committed relationship but she is looking for someone. Worn on the right hand with the heart pointed inward, the ring symbolizes that the wearer is in a committed relationship. Worn on the wedding day, the ring should be worn on the left hand with the heart pointing toward the wrist.
