The Celtic ring is the most in-style yet most classic type of Celtic jewelry, and Celtic Tungsten Rings are some of the best new representations of the ancient traditions and symbols honored by such rings.
Celtic tungsten rings also make wonderful engagement rings and friendship gifts, as so many of the symbols can be interpreted to suit many different kinds of relationships and themes. There really is a Celtic tungsten ring for every person and occasion. Celtic Tungsten Wedding Bands are now worn all over the world by people who are of Celtic heritage and many who are not but appreciate the meaningful symbols that Celtic tungsten bands are. A couple may choose to exchange Celtic tungsten rings for many reasons.
The ancient Celts, the earliest Celtic society about whom not much is known and who gave us many of the symbols used on Celtic tungsten rings such as the eternity knot, triquetra, and triskele, which they used rather than writing. Like many primitive cultures they maintained their history through oral tradition and the symbols were a way of illustrating their monuments and places of worship and were drawn or rendered in clothing, art, and jewelry for educational or spiritual purposes. Their lack of a written language in which their history was recorded made it difficult for anthropologists to study their culture and ascertain the exact meaning of the symbols, but their use and reverence of the symbols that their intense study did manage to interpret made them that much more appropriate for use as adornments of Celtic tungsten rings. Ancient written texts from later dynasties have also been discovered and helped to attribute meaning with certainty to the symbols used on Celtic tungsten bands. The Book of Kells is the most famous and comprehensive of these texts. Many Celtic symbols that had been around for thousands of years were also assigned new meanings after Ireland’s mass conversion to Christianity, particularly Catholicism, which adapted many of the Celtic gods and religious practices to win over the population. Due to this part of Celtic history, Celtic tungsten rings are also quite popular in Christian and Catholic wedding ceremonies.
