Celtic Wedding Band Rings

Celtic wedding bands feature an interlacing pattern with many variations. A Celtic knot’s entwining lines serve as a symbol for eternity. More specifically, it represents "no beginning, no ending, the continuity of everlasting love and binding together or intertwining of two soul or spirits." Dating back to the 5th century, Celtic knots were commonly used by ancient monks in manuscript writings. They were also recurrent among Irish, Scottish and Welsh tribes. With deep poetic meaning and a storied history, it’s easy to see why Celtic wedding band rings are so popular today.

Couples wishing to bring this elegant symbolism to their marriage will find an extensive selection of Celtic wedding band styles through jewelry retailer Apples of Gold. Their rings are suited for both brides and grooms, and come in a variety of metals. Yellow or white gold are available along with many two-tone options.

Apples of Gold’s Celtic wedding band rings showcase several different kinds of knots, so any couple can choose the perfect design for their ring.

Other models include the Caer knot, meaning blessed sword. This decorative interweaving is an excellent choice for wedding bands.
