Celtic Wedding Rings-So Much Choice: Help!
So you have decided that you want Celtic wedding rings to be a part of the day and union you will be remembering for the rest of your lives. Congratulations-this is a wonderful choice, and one that you will be happy with for years to come. But, as with picking out many other engagement and wedding rings, the choices facing you can be simply overwhelming. White gold versus yellow gold, Claddagh designs, Irish script, spirals and more-trying to pick the right Celtic wedding rings to adorn your finger forever can almost seem like an impossible choice. Rest assured that it is not an impossible choice to make-all you need is good information and a decisive mind.
Where does one begin when looking for Celtic wedding rings? First, start to consider you tastes and that of your partner. Do you want your wedding rings to match exactly, or are you fine with them being of different Celtic styles? Don't pressure your partner into liking whatever style you are leaning toward; you both have to wear these wedding rings every day, so they should be ones that fit your personality, style and taste. Take some time both together and apart to think about what styles you are drawn to: one person may favor the meaningful yet simple elegance of a Claddagh design, while the other may want a ring adorned with multiple diamonds and the Trinity knot. Make sure you talk about what you are leaning toward, so there are no surprises on the day of your wedding. Great Stuff on eBay
One easy way to make Celtic wedding rings just as unique as your relationship is to get rings with engraved phrases in them in Gaelic. These rings are beautifully simple, and look great on both male and female fingers. 'Gra Dilseacht Cairdeas' meaning 'Love Loyalty Friendship ' is one phrase you can find; 'Gra Geal Mo Chroi' meaning 'Love of my Heart' and 'Mo Anam Cara' meaning 'My Soul Mate' are others. If you know of a phrase that is more meaningful to you and your relationship, ask the jeweler you are working with if they have the capability to engrave a phrase of your choice into the underside of a ring you are drawn to.

Do you know much about Celtic symbols and their meaning? It can seem daunting to look at all of the different Celtic wedding rings if you are unclear on what their symbols mean, so take the time to read up on your Irish symbolism. The Claddagh symbol, with its two hands clasping a heart topped by a crown, has a rich romantic history. A man named Robert Joyce left to work overseas, promising his love he would return to marry her. He was captured, and had to work for years as a slave. During his time as slave, he learned the art of working with gold, and crafted a beautiful ring to give to his beloved upon his eventual return. After he was freed, Joyce returned home to marry his love and present her with the Claddagh ring we know and love today. 
The Trinity knot is a very prominent Celtic symbol, showing up in ancient works like The Book of Kells. This symbol represents a sign of very special things, and persons and relationships that are threefold, like Mother, Daughter and Grandmother, and more famously, The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. In the realm of marriage, the Trinity knot represents the Past, Present and Future. The Celtic spiral is a visual representation of the experiences of life, death as seen in the ever-changing directional flow of the spiral. More Celtic Wedding Rings Questions Answered
