Finding The Perfect Celtic Design For Wedding Rings – Part 2
Celtic wedding rings are a popular choice due to their cultural resonance and rich symbolism. When choosing a Celtic ring design, there are certain elements that need to be considered. The first is the type of knot. The most popular choice is a sculpted ring, but for a more elaborate look etchings can be made. The weave thickness varies according to whether the ring is being made for a man or woman, but can also be changed if that is your preference. In addition to the knot design and pattern, you also need to decide on what gemstone you would like to use and the type of metal.
Gemstones
Most Celtic wedding rings do not feature gemstones as heavily as some other wedding ring designs. However, gemstones can be built in to the design and diamonds are a popular choice. Other jewels are also popular. Due to the connection to Ireland emeralds are often chosen, but sapphires and rubies are also frequent choices. Smaller gemstones can be set along the pattern of the ring or a single gemstone may be used as a focal point.
Metals
Of all the metals, yellow gold is still the most popular choice for wedding rings. However, in Celtic designs silver is also used a great deal due to its flexibility. White gold and platinum are also becoming popular choices. The harder metals of titanium and tungsten can be challenging to mould into the intricate designs of Celtic rings.
