Today, many people choose Celtic rings for their wedding bands, engagement rings, promise rings, and friendship rings. These unique Celtic ring designs have been found all over the world and many have tried to find the exact meaning to all the various knots, spirals, chevrons, and scrolls.

Because of the Celts strong tradition of oral storytelling and history, the Celts’ shunned writing within their culture. There are therefore, many speculations as to a Celtic rings’ exact meaning. We can make certain assumptions based on the date and region of the world in which a particular design was found. Celtic designs have been found on the walls of caves throughout Europe, in stone carvings, ancient manuscripts such as the Book of Kells as well as many religious books. There is even a strong presence of Celtic Christianity, as the Celts migrated in ancient times during times of persecution and Roman occupation to lands such as Ireland, where they found solace and were later influenced by the Church of Ireland.

We glean meanings from shapes within Celtic designs and strongest of these meanings always brings us back to the idea of infinity, commitment, and un-ending strength and love. The circle of any wedding band, including the Celtic ring is normally acquainted with the circle of life, infinity, or undying love, since the circle has no beginning or end. When coupled with continuous, unbroken Celtic knot-work as you find on a Celtic ring, we also glean the idea of infinity and eternity from within such designs, which also have no beginning or end. Celtic ring designs can be compared to the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. It is also probable that since the Celts believed everything in nature had a life force and was to be revered, that much of their artwork depicted these beliefs as the eternal and never-ending love God.
