At this time of year, many people begin to plan for one of the most exciting and romantic days of their life: their wedding day…
If you’re getting married this spring or summer, you may want to consider a Celtic wedding band. For many reasons, choosing a handcrafted ring from Ireland can be a beautiful and memorable choice.
The most exciting features of today’s Celtic wedding bands are their motifs and the way they represent the past: the symbols engraved on these rings are thousands of years old, and their meanings illustrate many important facets of Celtic culture and history.
There are a wide range of choices available, including bands that feature Trinity Knots, or the more modern (and uniquely Irish) Claddagh symbols. However, this season, some of the most appealing choices are from a special range of rings that are adorned with warrior symbols.
If you’re curious about warrior symbols and what they mean, we can provide some information about the significance of these designs…
The Origins Of Celtic Warrior Shield Symbols…
In Celtic lore, the Ardagh Chalice stands alone as one of the great art treasures of the British Isles. Believed to have been made in the 8th century, this priceless war relic now rests at the National Museum of Ireland.
The surface of this large metal cup is decorated with a round warrior symbol that resembles a battle shield. Today’s warrior shield Celtic jewelry designs are inspired by the motifs found on the Ardagh Chalice…
Each symbol on this silver-bronze cup (which is also adorned with semi-precious stones and emeralds) represents courage, strength, and loyalty. Today, jewelry bearing these revered symbols also illustrates these noble traits…
Wedding jewelry decorated with shield symbols is the perfect way to honor a commitment that lasts a lifetime. It is also the ideal way to show the world your devotion and faith in your partner.
If you are of Celtic heritage, choosing a finely-wrought wedding band crafted by Ireland’s master artisans can be a romantic way to honor your ancestry as you embark on a new journey…
Today’s Most Meaningful Styles…
For a classic, sophisticated look for your wedding, consider this fine band, which is created from white and yellow gold.
Whether your other jewelry is white gold, yellow gold, or even silver, your wedding band will always coordinate.
You will marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of this delicate Celtic band; the symbols are carefully rendered along the entire diameter of the ring, and they shimmer in fine 14k gold. The band is edged along either side with a smooth border of polished white gold.
This is the perfect choice if you are looking for a traditional wedding band with a little added style. It will mesh beautifully with a Celtic engagement ring, or any classic solitaire ring.
Yellow Gold Beauty To Last A Lifetime…
If yellow gold is your preference, you can opt for this style of Celtic ring, which features the same attention to detail, authenticity, and painstaking craftsmanship as the design shown above.
Classic yellow gold often flatters women with warm coloring. If you have a golden cast to your complexion (yellow undertones), 14k yellow gold will bring out the beauty in your own skin tone.
For a matching effect, consider a Celtic engagement ring with a 14k yellow gold setting; it will be the perfect complement to your wedding band.
A Wider Band For Style That Stands Out…
For a bolder look that is both ancient and modern, consider choosing this wider Celtic wedding band.
Thin bands can be beautiful, but, for some women, a wider band is truly more flattering.
Women with a fuller figure or larger bones may actually feel more comfortable wearing a wider band: its dimensions may seem more balanced with their proportions.
As well, the intricacy and artistry of the shield designs is even easier to see and appreciate on this signature piece.
If you like stronger jewelry that matches your own personal style, this style may be just what you are looking for…
Matching Gent’s Bands Are Available…
These pieces offer all the beauty, strength, and symbolism of the original Ardagh Chalice. You can enjoy honoring your heritage as you begin your new life together…as well, there are matching gent’s bands available, so that you are coordinated on your wedding day.
These are some beautiful, unique rings!
