Celtic engagement rings

Celtic engagement rings are beautiful alternatives to the traditional diamond engagement rings, giving the couple a sense of history. Those who have traced their ancestry back to the ancient Celts are often anxious to let everyone know of their roots by choosing Celtic jewellery for their engagement and wedding rings.  

Celteic engagement rings date back to approximately 2500 years ago. The culture of the Celts is believed to have originated in what is now Austria. The people became known for producing bracelets, rings and beads that were decorated with engravings. They became famous throughout Europe for their gold and silver jewellery.  

Celtic engagement rings are patterned after the original Celtic jewellery. The Celtic knot engagement ring has a combination of Gaelic knotwork and diamonds. The lacings and the knotwork are fashioned in one continuous line in order to symbolize long life and eternity.  

Couples can choose wedding rings to match the Celtic engagement rings. You can have diamond engagement ring in the Celtic style. Such a ring is 2 mm. wide with two matching ribbons symbolizing two ribbons of life. Creyr, the Hebron, is one each side of the diamond joining the lines together to form an endless circle. This is intended to symbolize the endless love of the couple and their new life when they get married.
