Choosing A Celtic Wedding Band
Celtic wedding bands have a rich and varied history. The Celts of ancient Western Europe used artistic symbols to represent the nature of life and love, and this is seen throughout their artwork and their jewelry. Unlike many other cultures, the wedding band has been common in the area since the Roman era.
There are two basic varieties of Celtic wedding bands: the Claddagh and the Celtic knot. Knot designs range from the basic to the complex, in a variety of modern and classical styles. There are approximately 8 varieties of Celtic knot, and if you look hard enough, you can find each one imprinted on a piece of jewelry. Claddagh bands all have the same basic style: two hands holding a crowned heart.
The Claddagh Celtic wedding rings design originated in Galway, Ireland, and has a series of creation myths. All involve a story of loyalty between lovers, and the humbling charity that comes with true love. The symbol itself traditionally means "I crown our love with my loyalty, and present it to you by my own hand." This is a very strong heartfelt statement, and the design has gained popularity since many western European immigrants began spreading over the globe. The Claddagh is considered a very traditional and meaningful design, but you can find variations in which gems are present (usually around the crown) or the crown itself is absent.
The Celtic knot Celtic wedding band is thought to be based around artistic designs of the Roman Empire, which the Celts modified to their own purpose and lifestyle. In the beginning, they often had no significance beyond the stylistic, but their use has since evolved. The knots are commonly used to describe the intricacy of human relationships and the eternal quality of life. By the way the Celtic knots are arranged on your wedding band, you have the option to go for both modern and very classical looks. There are thicker bands for men, and thinner bands for women. If you choose Celtic wedding bands variety that contains stones, make sure they do not take away from the overall design.
Choosing a Celtic wedding band should be a testament for you and your future spouse's love. A knot can represent lives intertwined, two individuals dependent on each other, or the eternal nature of true love. Choosing a Celtic knotted cross adds more of a religious element to the ring. The Claddagh symbolizes love stemming from friendship and loyalty. Traditionally, you are supposed to wear the ring on your left ring finger with the crown pointing away from the body while engaged, and turn it around once married.
Choosing variety of Celtic wedding bands can be hard, but keep in mind the nature and origin of your love for each other. Are you trying to show your religious preference, your national identity, or display a certain quality of love you possess for each other? Each couple has a story, and do not be afraid to share it with others through the selection of your wedding ring.
