Celtic Rings-Tips for Choosing the Best Celtic Design
Celtic rings are some of the most unique jewelry designs in the world. But when you are shopping around trying to find a Celtic ring and design that best suits the occasion or your tastes, the options can be overwhelming. There are so many different Celtic designs out there, and many of them have made their way onto jewelry. If you are unsure about what some Celtic symbols mean and if they are things you want represented on Celtic rings you wear, read on to learn about the various types of Celtic designs and the meaning behind them.
Celtic spirals are popular on Celtic rings, and with good reason. The triskle spiral is often used as the base of more complex spirals, and some think the design represents Triple Goddesses or the three stages of womanhood. The notion of three in Celtic culture is often thought to represent the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit. Spirals are particularly significant in Celtic designs because they remind us that we always begin and end at the same place-within ourselves. According to some accounts, the Celtic spiral is the ultimate representation of power. 
Celtic animals are often found on Celtic rings, and with so many animals to choose from, it is easy to find a design that best suits your personality. The Celtic bull is very revered in the culture, and symbolizes a strong will, possibly even stubbornness, but it also represents virility in men and fertility in women. The bull is also thought to represent wealth and prosperity. Great Stuff on Amazon
The Celtic butterfly is a lovely symbol of rebirth and new beginnings. The ancient Celts believed very strongly in the concept of recycling life, and a butterfly perfectly represents this. The Celtic griffin is a beautiful, haunting animal design, and is a symbol of duality. Because the creature is part lion and part eagle, it depicts the balance between the good and undesirable qualities in a person. The griffin is a very strong symbol, and it is thought that the symbol should only be called upon when the need is greatest. 
The Celtic goose ties in perfectly with the Emerald Isle, as geese can be seen aplenty in Ireland. The goose represents the migratory nature of human beings and other animals, and the symbol urges us to think about our changes in mood and following our heart. The goose also represents the hearth and home, as geese mate for life and will do anything to protect their family and nest. Great Stuff on eBay
Celtic knot work is a popular Celtic design, and one found on many Celtic rings. Celtic knots can vary, but like the Celtic crosses are meant to symbolize no beginning and no end. They are also symbolic of love that is everlasting, and binds together two souls or spirits. The Trinity knot is one of the more well know Celtic knots, and stems from the idea that everything happens in threes: the three stages of womanhood (maid, mother and crone); the three elements (earth, water and fire); and the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. 
The Trinity knot, in its beautiful simplicity, weaves its way into more complicated knot work, thus making it a cornerstone of many Celtic designs. The Dara knot is derived from the Celtic word "doire," or oak tree. Because the Celts held nature as centric to their belief system, the Dara knot and its symbolism of trees is meaningful and powerful Celtic knot.There are so many choices for designs when it comes to Celtic rings; knowing the meaning and history behind the symbols helps make an educated and significant choice.
