Celtic Symbols Druids and the Spirals of Life
Celtic Spirals
Some of the oldest symbols associated with the Celts are Celtic spirals. Prominently displayed on ancient artifacts dating long before the written word in Ireland, Celtic spirals are second only to Knotwork designs as the symbols most associated with Celtic art. These mythical spirals are among the oldest symbols associated with Celtic art. They are believed to represent the spiritual balance between inner and outer consciousness. People from many lands herald Celtic designs as the emblem of their heritage because the people known as "Celts" lived in many areas of modern-day Europe.
The Triskele, or the Triskelion
The triskele, otherwise known as the triskelion, is a three-pronged spiral, and is often used as a basis for more complex spirals. Some suggest ancient Celtic triskeles represented the Triple Goddess of the three ages of womanhood. It later came to represent the Holy Trinity in Christianity - God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Whatever its' meaning, it is interesting that the motif is based around The Number 3 - regarded as a highly sacred number in many ancient cultures, not least The Druids.
Celtic Wedding Bands: Knowing the Meaning Behind the Symbols
In choosing wedding rings, it is also best that couples understand the meanings of the symbols that could be on their rings. While the wedding ring itself, which is a circle that has no beginning and no end, symbolizes everlasting commitment and love, there are also others that are crafted with symbols like the Celtic wedding bands that hold different meanings.
Understanding the Celtic Symbols in Celtic Wedding Bands
Celtic wedding bands have become quite popular nowadays. This is because many jewelers have been inspired to make their own works of art from the traditional Celtic designs used in the past. The most common Celtic designs are silver or gold Celtic wedding bands such as the Claddagh and the Celtic Knot.
Claddagh and Celtic Engagement Rings-For a Truly Symbolic Wedding Engagement
An engagement is an extraordinary time full of new feelings of commitment, affection and love for the happy couple. Such a special and unique time really should be remembered by using ideas and symbols that stand for those emotions, and Celtic engagement rings are a perfect choice. Representing true love and everlasting friendship, these engagement rings are saturated in history and heritage and are a spectacular way to express two people's profound feelings for one another.
The detailed and complicated patterns in Celtic engagement rings allow couples to communicate a love that's as wonderful and unique as the engagement ring itself. A culturally and historically inspired symbol, a Celtic knot engagement ring is a perfect reminder of devotedness and love that you don't need to be of Irish decent to appreciate. Worn all over the world, the Celtic knot is one of the most well known designs in Celtic jewelry, and is an unrivaled way for couples of all ancestries and origins to show their life long devotion to one another.
Modern Irish engagement rings combine the traditional symbolism of the Celtic knot or the Claddagh design with modern, fresh styles and methods. Diamond Celtic engagement rings can be found in a wide assortment of shapes, styles and sizes, including diamond solitaire, princess cut and three stone rings. Engagement rings featuring the Celtic knot and other Celtic design work can be found in yellow gold, two tones, white gold and platinum. It doesn't matter what you like best, Celtic engagement rings are a marvelous way for couples to make known a timeless love for one another in a way that is special and distinctive.
Irish engagement rings are an exceptional way to make known an eternal and honest dedication to one another, and an incorporation of the Celtic knot and Claddagh design is a wonderful way to merge both contemporary and conventional symbolism. Going back more than four hundred years, the Claddagh design shows a crown above two hands that hold a heart. Generally when a person wears a Claddagh ring on the left hand with the crown pointing away from the heart it means that whoever is wearing it is engaged. Representing loyalty, love and friendship, a Claddagh Irish engagement ring is a perfect reminder of the reason a couple is together.
Steeped in history and tradition, Irish and Celtic wedding rings are a beautiful way to signify two people's connection and love toward one another. Regardless of whether it is a Celtic knot or a Claddagh design, Irish wedding and engagement rings will be as extraordinary and unique as the love that two people have for one another. Unifying contemporary methods with historical traditions, these rings will represent a special reminder of the friendship and love that a couple will always share.

Better Celtic Jewellery
There is a better way to get your loved one some jewelry. You can get a better piece of Celtic jewellery if you’re keeping your eyes open. There seems to be a lot of competition amongst jewelers to get you to buy a very expensive piece of jewelry. It’s surprising to see the mark up on a lot of different things, creating havoc for those without a lot of money. It’s interesting in these modern times that sometimes the best gifts are not necessarily the most expensive gifts, and that’s a fact. Sometimes it is better to get something that a loved one is going to love, rather than trying to push on the traditional, boring piece of trendy jewelry.
