September 1, 2009 by Yelena Jenkins · Leave a Comment
The intricate knots, whorls and endless patterns of Celtic jewelry have been coveted by jewelry lovers for thousands of years. The Celts were fine craftsman who worked with silver and gold, and their detailed jewelry designs spread far and wide during their reign in Europe through trade. Interestingly, although the Celts became famous for their use of the intricate woven knot designs, the designs first appeared in Rome. Historians believe that these shapes and symbols were introduced into the Celtic culture once the Romans began conquering former Celtic civilizations.
Though the Celts were not initially Christian, once Christianity was formed the churches began appropriating the use of the beautiful Celtic knots into their carvings and books. The spread of Christianity helped perpetuate the popularity of Celtic jewelry, and the symbols and knots were soon associated with the Christian faith as well as the Celtic people. Many of the Celtic knots symbolize faith, virtue and the belief in God, which is why they are used so often in wedding bands. Celtic wedding bands are a captivating and unique choice for a wedding ring, and come in
such a wide variety of Celtic designs that it is hard to choose just one.
Apples of Gold carries an impressive selection of the finest handpicked Celtic wedding bands for our customers to choose from. We have also recently added three new designs that we think Celtic knot lovers will truly appreciate:
Antiqued Celtic Triquetra Knot Wedding Band
This stunning Celtic wedding band (pictured at top left) features a unique variation on the popular Celtic trinity knot design. Crafted from 14K solid white gold, the Celtic knots on the wedding band blaze boldly against the dark antiqued background. With a convenient comfort fit design, this ring is sure to be an instant hit with those who appreciate Celtic artistry.
Antiqued Celtic Knot Wedding Band
This Celtic knot wedding band (at upper right) is an eye catching continuous design that symbolizes the perpetuity of married love as well as God’s unending love. As with the triquetra knot wedding band, this continuous design is set
against a bold background that accents the Celtic design.
Antiqued Celtic Annan Wedding Band
The Celtic meaning for the word “Annan” is “from the stream.” The wedding band’s (at left) continous Celtic design is a subtle blend between the infinity symbol and the Ichthys, and early secret symbol for Christianity.

The beauty of titanium wedding bands is that the metal is durable and can be coated with other colors. A popular look for men’s wedding bands, colored titanium rings usually feature an engraved design that is specially powder coated with black, red, green or blue. The addition of color makes the ring standout, and allows a guy to incorporate his favorite color into his wedding band.
We’ve already featured some of our most popular Black Titanium Wedding Bands, but our Blue Titanium Wedding Bands are also a hit with many future grooms. Titanium wedding bands are a strong, durable choice for guys who like to play sports or enjoy the outdoors, while the blue design adds a cool effect to the ring without sacrificing masculinity. Additionally, the blue color is powder-coated titanium oxide that will last throughout the life of the ring, making it virtually maintenance-free. The result is a wedding band that is unique, manly and eye-catching – what more could a guy want?
Apples of Gold carries a variety of blue titanium wedding bands. Designs range from a simple, sleek line of blue titanium oxide to an elaborate Celtic knot etched into the titanium. If you like the look of blue titanium, we encourage you to check out our entire selection of Titanium Wedding Bands. Here are some of our favorites we’d like to highlight:
Lined Blue Titanium Wedding Band
This band (shown at top left) is for the traditional man who likes to keep things simple. Two thin blue lines are inlaid in the titanium wedding band for durable style. A more modern version of this ring features only one blue line in titanium oxide that is slightly off-center and makes a statement.
Celtic Blue Titanium Wedding Band
The continuous, seamless look of Celtic patterns make them a popular design choice for wedding bands. This Celtic Titanium band (at right) features endless interwoven hearts that are abstract enough to be masculine. If hearts aren’t your favorite Celtic design, consider our Celtic infinity ring, which featured the hourglass infinity design in the signature blue titanium oxide.
Christian Themed Blue Titanium Wedding Bands 
The Christian themed wedding band is ideal for men who want to proudly wear their faith. The Blue Cross Titanium Wedding Band features three simple crosses in the middle of the ring while the blue ichtys titanium band features one simple ichthys fish. These bands are a great way to express your faith and love for God as well as your devotion to your marriage.
