Irish Rings: For Memorable and One-of-a-Kind Weddings

Weddings are one of the most important days couples celebrate. It is the day they pronounce to the whole world their love, commitment, and dedication they are willing to give to their partner. When they say their "I do's," it means they are willing to sacrifice their time, effort, and devotion to their partner. During the wedding ceremony, not only are the exchange of vows awaited by everybody but other wedding symbols are also given much emphasis. Such is the handing over of the arrhae to the bride, which denotes that the husband shall be the provider of the house. And the more common wedding symbol is the exchange of wedding rings. And when it comes to this, nothing comes close to the significance Irish wedding rings denotes.

Irish Weddings

There are several wedding traditions that are observed and celebrated across the globe. Customs and traditions that have been practiced long before we were ever born, or modern practices that seem odd but are nevertheless being followed. Such are the traditions of an Irish wedding. Irish blessings are sought, a horseshoe is brought, Celtic candles are used in the wedding ceremony, honey wine is drank, and similar others. Irish wedding rings are also considered because Irish rings, and Irish jewelry pieces in general have a rich and interesting history. That is the reason why Irish rings given during the wedding ceremony is said to symbolize undying love and commitment to your partner.

Irish Rings

Irish rings are not just used as wedding rings. In fact, they also make great gifts. Irish rings come in different designs and are classified according to the pattern they are made with:

- The Claddagh ring is engraved with a heart design entwined with two hands and a crown on top of it. This ring is usually given and should not be bought for yourself. The manner of wearing the Claddagh Irish ring also bears different meanings and tells of the marital status of the one wearing it. If it is worn on the right hand with the heart design facing away from the body, it means that the one wearing this ring is still single. If worn on the left hand and the heart is also facing away from the bearer's body, it denotes that she is engaged. While if the heart design faces the body wearing the Irish ring, it signifies that the woman is already married.

- A Celtic Irish ring may also have traditional designs engraved on it. The Celtic knot or the Holy Trinity Knot is the usual design engraved and wrought on this type of Irish ring. The knot together with manuscripts from the Book of Kells and beautiful images of humans and animals denote sacred expressions.

- Wedding and Engagement Irish rings are usually made of sandblasted titanium, 14-carat gold and white gold. They may also be incorporated with precious metals and other gemstones.
