Tasting Celtic Wedding Rings (up)

Celtic jewelry has its own special meaning.

Thousands of years ago, the Celts, groups of independent tribes spread throughout much of current day Europe, were sophisticated artisans, carving knot work patterns that have inspired modern day jewelers to create wedding rings.

Celtic wedding rings are based on Celtic tradition and history. Celtic wedding rings are very popular around the world. They are equally popular with men and ladies.

Knotwork, which has become synonymous with today's idea of "Celtic" was undoubtedly a form of sacred, artistic expression. Some of the most famous designs were preserved in highly embellished, illuminated manuscripts, such as the Book of Kells which survived the Viking invasions.

For some people, the choice to have a Celtic wedding ring is an expression of their wish to connect deeply into their own ancestry. They feel empathy with a European based tribal tradition that treats the Earth as Mother. It's also easy to fall in love with soulful Celtic music and poetry. Others simply want the one piece of jewelry that they wear every day to have a beautiful design with significance.

Understanding these knot patterns and why they make such ideal wedding rings can be illusive. Many ancient motifs are rooted in mysterious cultures that stretch back well before written history. Some knot work motifs found in Eastern Europe may be as old as 20,000 years.

We know the Celts viewed that the Earth itself as well as all aspects of life and death as divine. They had a large and varied pantheon, of gods. The natural world was considered sacred, and every river, mountain and tree had its own spirit of place.

Whether one has Celtic heritage or not, a Celtic motif wedding ring is appropriate because it has universal, symbolic meaning. In the most general sense, the knots express two different paths woven together. Life itself can be viewed as a great web of interconnectedness, which is expressed in the knot work.

Even our own spiritual path, metaphorically, can be viewed as a tapestry of interconnected experiences. The Celtic wedding ring is a talisman, which reminds us, in physical form, of our mystic connection with another person and the great web of life.

Each Celtic wedding ring has a special ancient meaning, a meaning that can give your Celtic ring a special significance above other types of ring styles.
