Braided wedding bands use interweaving strands to create timeless looks, as well as to represent two people who are being woven together into one, never to be torn apart. And, just as a braid is stronger than any of the strands that comprise it, a husband and wife are stronger together than they are apart. The 14K White Gold Braided Wedding Band Ring is a classy example of braided style. This gleaming ring combines three textures to create a unified symbol of your inextricable bond with the one you love. A braid of flat strands wraps around the center of this ring, framed by thin rope-like accents and smooth, polished borders. This 14K white gold band measures 7.5mm wide, making it substantial but not overwhelming, and its elegant design renders it a ring with lasting appeal—and a lasting message.

Celtic wedding bands also use interweaving strands as they portray centuries-old Celtic knot motifs, as well as represent the intertwining of two hearts. Many people have adopted these designs as symbols of eternity, making them lovely ways to celebrate love that never comes to an end. The Titanium Celtic Knot Wedding Band Ring adapts one of these motifs to a flat band crafted of aircraft-grade titanium, and carves it simply into a sleek surface. This contemporary take on Celtic style is available in your choice of widths (6mm to 10mm) as well as your pick of finishes (matte, polished or satin). The metal from which this ring is made adds an additional touch of symbolism: titanium is incredibly strong, making it a perfect way to represent love that can stand up to whatever life throws at it.

Two-tone wedding bands use two contrasting metals, not only to create an eye-catching look, but also to represent two different people who come together to form a one beautiful whole. Each metal in these designs makes the other stand out, just as a husband and wife can complement one another and make one another better. The Two-Halves One Flesh Wedding Band Ring pairs 14K white gold and 14K yellow gold to create a unified representation of love. These two metals seamlessly form this flat, 7mm-wide band, the border between them curving gracefully as each color ebbs and flows.

Obvious symbols are far from your only options when you want a wedding band that’s rich with meaning. Consider a braided wedding band, a Celtic design or a two-tone style for a subtle symbol of love, presented with beauty.

Wearing matching wedding bands is one way to celebrate your bond with your spouse, and when those rings display unique designs, they serve as symbols that the love you share is far from ordinary. Every time you look at your left hand, you’ll be reminded of that one special someone who’s wearing the same style.

Hammered wedding bands can also be great picks for both husbands and wives. Their pounded texture provides rugged yet sophisticated appeal, while disguising any dents or dings that they incur over time. For instance, the 14K Two-tone Gold Hammered Wedding Band Ring is a great style for men and women as it combines two colors and two textures in one winning design.

The triquetra has been used in Celtic artworkg since at least the seventh century AD, and throughout the centuries it has adorned works ranging from the Book of Kells to architecture to, yes, jewelry. This long history assures that this motif isn’t going out of style anytime soon—and neither is the message behind it.

In addition to serving as a reminder of the trinity, wedding bands that feature the triquetra are clear and powerful symbols of a husband and wife joined together in the Lord.

When these designs are featured on wedding bands, they can become not only emblems of eternity, but also reminders that your love and commitment will never run out. While these motifs are both powerful and elegant in any metal, two-tone styles that utilize Celtic motifs allow these designs to fully take the spotlight, emphasizing their message and their good looks.

Wedding band sets with braided motifs add an extra measure of symbolism as they depict the weaving of two lives into one.

For instance, the 14K White Gold 7.6mm Braided Wedding Band Set is wrapped with a clean braid of flat strands of 14K white gold, a picture of the way that you and the one you love are intertwined for life. Milgrain edges frame this classy braid and add contrasting texture, while smooth, polished edges provide a simple but fitting finishing touch.

Plain wedding bands may not be fancy, but as is the case with all wedding rings, they communicate a powerful message.

“‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”  

When you say “I do,” God Himself binds you and the one you love together, allowing the two of you to truly become one. While all wedding bands represent your connection to your spouse, those with extra touches of symbolism can be especially meaningful expressions of your bond.

Christian wedding bands that feature Bible verses, crosses, doves or other emblems of faith are a popular way to celebrate that God brought you and the one you love together, but they’re far from the only way.

Celtic wedding bands are another meaningful way to represent your relationship. The continual knot motifs that are featured in these pieces have been adopted by many as symbols of eternity, making them ideal for communicating endless love. In addition, their intertwining nature forms a picture of the way that a husband and wife are woven together so that they share one another’s joys and sorrows.

Hammered wedding rings allow sophistication and rugged good looks to meet, and when they do, the result is a simple but powerful picture of the resiliency of your love. Several of the most popular styles of 2012 were hammered pieces. For instance, the 14K White Gold Hammered Wedding Band Ring combines a brushed, pounded-finish center with smooth, polished edges. It’s a great pick for both men and women.

Many of the top wedding rings of the year contained extra touches of significance that make them even more meaningful. For instance, braided styles provide a picture of the way that two lives are woven into one. The 14K Tri-Color Gold Braided Wedding Band is a particularly stunning example, braiding strands of yellow, white and rose gold into an eye-catching motif that wraps the band as a symbol of your connection. Yellow gold borders pull the look together and add a big dose of class.

Several Christian wedding bands were also top picks in 2012, including the Song of Solomon Cross Wedding Band in White Gold. This simple style serves as a reminder of the faith that’s central to your relationship. A thin outline of a cross accents this flat, polished 14K white gold ring, but that’s not the only way that it communicates your dependence on God and your gratitude to Him for bringing the two of you together. The inside of this band is engraved with your choice of verses, allowing you to add a personalized message of faith. Choose one of several sample verses, such as “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,” or opt for any verse of your choice, up to 225 characters.

Titanium bands were another popular option for wedding bands, as were Celtic designs. The Titanium Celtic Wedding Band Ring exhibits both. This sleek style is wrapped with a modern version of the infinity knot, a Celtic motif that many have used to represent love without end. The titanium from which it’s crafted is incredibly strong, making it an ideal symbol of the fortitude of your relationship. This ring is available in a matte, satin or polished finish for a variety of contemporary looks.

These may have been some of the best wedding rings of 2012, but that doesn’t mean that they’re on the way out. Any would be a fitting symbol of love—for a 2013 wedding and for a lifetime.

Although the original meaning of Celtic knots is unknown, many have adopted them as symbols of eternity due to their never-ending nature. Thus, they’re natural representations of love that never ceases, and can serve as reminders of an undying commitment to the one to whom you say “I do.”

Celtic wedding bands convey a sense of strength that endures like few other designs can. The 14K White Gold Celtic Shield Wedding Band intersperses a Celtic knot motif with a round shield-like design, creating a looks that says you’re willing to fight for your love. Smooth polished edges bind the elements of this ring to form a unified statement.

Celtic knots have been used by many to not only to symbolize eternity but also to make statements of faith—messages that are inherently powerful. For instance, the triquerta, a three-looped Celtic knot, has often been used to represent the trinity, and its presence on wedding bands serves as a reminder that you and the one you love are joined and held together in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Antiqued Celtic Triquetra Trinity Knot Wedding Band features this meaningful motif repeated on all sides, and a black antiqued finish makes the polished knot pop into the foreground. While the design is simple, it contains a rich symbol of the One who makes true love possible.

Despite their longstanding status as design elements, Celtic knots take well to modern adaptations that give these time-honored motifs a contemporary, edgy twist. The Kendrick Celtic Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold is a prime example as it gives an angular look to an infinity knot, a symbol of eternity that powerfully expresses love without end. This shining 14K yellow gold knot pops against a 14K white gold band.

Select a polished or a brushed finish, as well as your choice of width, for a look that suits you perfectly.

The Carys Celtic Knot Wedding Band 14K White Gold is another stunning modern adaptation of Celtic style. “Carys” means “little fair love,” but don’t let that name fool you into thinking that this is a demure, bashful style. While it can easily serve as a symbol of your fair little love, its design is big and bold, as it takes a three-dimensional approach to a time-honored knot design. Strong angles and curves combine to form a look that’s slightly architectural and always eye-catching.

Men’s wedding bands that feature Celtic knot exude strength, both in their design and in the messages they convey. For expressing a love that’s in it for the long haul, they come out on top.
