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.

“‘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. Apples of Gold carries a number of wedding bands that communicate the connection between husband and wife with unique symbols of love.

The Two-Halves One Flesh Wedding Band Ring presents a picture of marriage inspired by the very first words spoken about the unique relationship between a husband and wife, as recorded in the book of Genesis. Two contrasting halves, one of 14K white gold and one of 14K yellow gold, combine to form a modern symbol of two becoming one. These complementary metals meet in a waving seam that wraps gracefully around a flat 7mm band.

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.

The Caedmon Celtic Wedding Band in 14K Two-Tone Gold is a striking example of the ability of Celtic designs to represent the bond that’s formed in a marriage. A strong, slightly angular knot motif wraps around this ring in seamless 14K yellow gold, while a 14K white gold background allows this knot to really pop. This shining contrast draws attention to the unique look of this ring, and to the meaning behind it.

A braid can also symbolize the bond of a marriage relationship, as individual strands combine to create a single cord that’s stronger on its own than any strand could be alone. This is gorgeously demonstrated by the 14K White Gold 7.6mm Braided Wedding Band Ring. This designer style combines several textures to create a shining reminder of your unbreakable connection to each other. A braid of gleaming flat strands is hugged by elegant lines of milgrain and accented by smooth edges.

If you’re looking to celebrate your bond, try one of these uniquely meaningful wedding rings. Each one is a beautiful picture of what God has joined together.
