Choosing a Celtic Bracelet That is Perfect For You
The beauty of a Celtic bracelet lies not only it the material and design, but it its symbolism. Celtic knots, weaves, and crosses date back centuries and are now unmistakable symbols of Irish culture. Whether you’re of Celtic decent, and admirer of the culture, or you just like the look of Celtic jewellery, make sure you consider these three aspects before you pick out your next bracelet.
Materials: Silver and Leather
Silver and leather are by far the most popular materials for these bracelets. The traditional, earthy feel of these materials is well suited to use with ancient Celtic symbols. They also have the advantage of being durable and looking good with just about any type of clothing. So if you want a symbolic bracelet to wear every day, silver and leather are ideal.
The typical Celtic bracelet is made from only one type of material, but occasionally you’ll find a silver bracelet that incorporates other metals or gemstones. If these materials aren’t quite your style, you can also find bracelets in gold and platinum, but these are less common.
Design: Cuffs and Bangles
Celtic cuff bracelets are popular because their typical width of 2 to 4 centimeters allows plenty of room for weaves and knots. While most leather bracelets can be fully closed, metal varieties are left open on one end so you can easily slip your wrist in. The only downside of this style is its bulk. It may not be something you’d wear everyday, but if you’re looking for an eye-catching way to show of your Irish heritage, a cuff bracelet is a good bet.
The simple, elegant bangle bracelet is another popular design for Celtic jewellery. These usually consist of a thin length of metal with a single Celtic knot of other design in the center. Others, especially those that incorporate Celtic weaves, look more like narrow cuff bracelets. The bangle style’s clean lines are appropriate for work wear, but wouldn’t be out of place in a more formal setting, either.
Symbolism: is it What you Think it is?
While people from a variety of backgrounds are drawn to Celtic knots, weaves, and crosses for their symbolism, a lot of confusion still surrounds this issue. Unfortunately, no written records remain to tell us exactly what each knot and weave pattern means. Nonetheless, these designs are meant to have meaning, not just look good.
Contrary to what many people assume, though, they don’t depict specific concepts like "love" or "brotherhood." Instead, the intricate knots and weaves symbolize the general idea of continuity and connectedness. Individual artisans may give their own work a particular meaning, but that’s purely personal.
Before you buy a Celtic bracelet, really give some thought to the meaning it expresses. Keep in mind that these bracelets do look symbolic, so chances are people are going to ask what yours means and why you wear it. More importantly, though, the more meaning the bracelet holds for you, the more you’ll enjoy wearing it. Choose the Celtic bracelet that’s right for you, and every time you look at it you’ll be glad you bought it.
