Blokes Adore Celtic Rings
The design of men’s Celtic rings have always been popular, but with more and more men wearing mens tungsten wedding bands they are now experiencing yet another growth in popularity. A wedding ring, unlike most other items of jewellery is not a fashion accessory, it is worn as a sign of commitment. The importance of this item of jewellery is well matched to the symbolism behind the Celtic jewellery designs. There are many different styles of Celtic jewellery, however, there are three which are increasingly being chosen as wedding rings and signs of commitment.
Below is a brief description of these three designs. 1. The Claddagh Ring. This is a very popular design for both women and men’s Celtic rings. The story behind the Claddagh ring is that an Irish man was being shipped off to slavery and was kidnapped by pirates and sold to a Moorish goldsmith. This goldsmith soon realised that Robert Joyce was a talented man and he taught him the goldsmith trade and craft. When the slaves were given freedom in 1689 Joyce decided to return to Ireland where he found that his sweetheart had waited for him. Joyce presented her with a Celtic tungsten carbide rings which symbolised their friendship, love and loyalty. This was the first Claddagh ring.
Celtic ring manufacturing typically produce rings in silver or gold and over time the appearance on these Celtic tungsten rings will slowly diminish, as both metals are prone to scratch. Recently, many of the Tungsten Carbide Ring companies have begun to manufacture Tungsten Rings and Wedding bands with Celtic designs circling the ring. Carved Tungsten rings have just recently emerged in the Tungsten market. Carved Tungsten Rings have deep inner grooves manufactured in the Tungsten ensuring the design and meaning will last a lifetime. Choosing Tungsten for your Celtic ring of choice would be a decision that would truly symbolize forever.
