The Various Celtic Engagement Ring Designs
Celtic rings can be made from a combination of intricate metalwork, detailed embellishments and meaningful engraved phrases. These designs can further be subdivided into different types that you will love to give your partner. The most popular of which is called the knotted designs. Also popular to wedding rings, these designs are said to define the unending love of partners with each other. These Celtic gold rings or silver rings are great definitions to commitment.
A variation to the knotted design is the "lover's knot". This one is an interconnected symbol of love and infinity thus reflecting the unity or bond between two people who are deeply in love with each other. This gold or silver ring jewellery illustrates the designs known as Creyr and Heron on each of the ring's side. The Creyr is denoted as the creator of life for the Celts.
Also found on the list of Celtic ring designs is the Celtic cross. This is a symbol of the Celtic history especially that time when Celtic monks pushed efforts to make Christianity a part of traditional pagan beliefs. In general, it is a sign of God's love and Christ's sacrifice on the cross. In Celtic gold rings and silver ring jewellery, you will see that the crucifix is enclosed in a circular sign more popularly known as the halo. The halo represents God's love for his people which showed when his only son sacrificed his life for the sins of mankind.
Of course, you should not forget the Claddagh rings. These rings are more than just symbols of love. They are also symbols of friendship. As we all know, love flourishes from the friendship of two individuals.
