The country of Ireland is the birthplace of many of the most world-renowned authors, playwrights, and musicians. Because so many gifted artists hail from Ireland, it’s not surprising that one of the most popular styles of jewelry also originates from the Emerald Isle. Fortunately, you don’t have to be from Ireland to pull off one of the many beautiful Celtic-inspired engagement rings!
There are several symbols that are often used in Celtic-inspired jewelry designs. The first is the trinity knot, which is a triangularly shaped knot with three distinct points. Many Catholics associate the trinity knot with the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. However, it is also a symbol of eternity, which is why it is the perfect addition to an engagement ring.
Spirals are also frequently incorporated into the design of Celtic-inspired jewelry. Many people believe that spiral designs symbolize harmony between humans and nature. Others believe that spirals were initially used to symbolize balance and inner peace. Although the exact meaning of spirals may be questionable, their beauty is not. These symbols have been incorporated into jewelry designs for centuries, and their popularity isn’t going to slow down any time soon. Women from countries all over the world have and still do appreciate the stunning beauty of Celtic-inspired designs. Take a look at some of our favorite Celtic-inspired engagement rings:
