A
Celtic engagement ring is a uniquely original expression of the symbol
of marriage – infinity.
With a Celtic engagement ring, you offer the love of your life your
heart forever. Celtic
engagement rings give literal meaning to the phrase ‘tying
the knot’ as they are fashioned in the shape of a knot
or combine a number of knots. Knots have no start and no
end, representing the endless cycle of love between a man
and woman who have chosen to spend their days together.
Traditionally,
Celtic knot symbolism comes from Irish monks in the 6th century
who wanted to convert pagans to Christianity. The monks believed
the intricate knots they fashioned so lovingly would appeal to
the pagans’ love of symbols and help them thereby to understand
the deeper underlying meaning of Christianity. The Irish monks had
a strong affinity for nature and God’s blessings so Celtic
engagement rings were often also engraved with images of birds
and other animals or trees and plants.
Memories of an
Irish wedding
Celtic jewelry
items make beautiful promise, wedding and anniversary presents,
particularly when accompanied by a handwritten note and description
of the history of the Celts. Intricately crafted necklaces and
bracelets as well as rings are sure to bring lasting joy to the
wearer. Celtic Irish promise rings are still given today by Irish
grooms to their fiancés before an Irish wedding and
the famous Celtic cross makes an especially thoughtful present
for the bride or even the mother of the bride or groom. The cross,
representing God’s love in sending his Son to die on the
cross for mankind, is overlaid with a circle or halo representing
the angelic and holy nature of God’s love. If you want
to spoil her, consider a Claddagh ring which is believed
to bring happiness to a married couple forever, even after
death.
Alternatively, you can have a ring, necklace or bracelet custom-designed
incorporating your own favorite knots and Celtic symbols. The internet
is also a treasure trove for wholesale Celtic jewelry, Celtic antiques
and Irish heirlooms. Whether made from precious white gold, silver
or titanium, you will always treasure the symbolic pledges to love
and be true inherent in your Celtic Irish promise ring or Celtic
engagement ring.
