You don’t have to be Irish or Celtic to appreciate the intricate design of Celtic wedding bands. Though there are many different interpretations on the meanings of the various Celtic knots, weaves and patterns, almost all of them relate to the notion of eternity, love and friendship. Since the Druid Celtic knot designs were later appropriated by Irish Christians and Catholics, many of the intricate designs also represent an element of faith, but are not specific to one particular religion over another.

For couples who want to honor their Irish or Celtic heritage, or those who cherish the deep symbolism imbued in the Celtic designs, a Celtic wedding band is a handsome choice. Celtic wedding bands come in different widths and precious metals, including white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum and titanium. Each different metal, width and Celtic design creates a very unique look that should speak to the couple in terms of style and meaning. One site that carries over 100 stunning Celtic wedding ring designs is jeweler Apples of Gold. To give you a taste of their selection, we thought we’d highlight a few of our favorite Celtic designs:

14K Gold Celtic Filigree Ring

Not only is this Celtic wedding band (at top) unique and beautiful, it also has a hidden design. Look closely at the inside of the filigree pattern to reveal a hidden cross – perfect for couples who want to honor their Christian faith and values with their wedding band.  

Celtic Maze Design Wedding Band

Crafted from solid 14K white gold, the intricate Celtic maze on this ring is a seamless design to symbolize eternity and never-ending love. The black contrast is created with an antiquing effect, which we think makes the ring look similar to a Versace.

Celtic Heart Knot Wedding Band

Nothing is sweeter than a beautiful Celtic heart knot design. Except, perhaps, a Celtic knot heart design in stunning rose gold. Though many Celtic knot rings look decidedly masculine, we love how feminine and sweet this ring is, perfect for an Irish gal who wants to celebrate her heritage.

Black Titanium Celtic Wedding Band

Speaking of masculine Celtic wedding bands, this ring could serve as the definition of masculine jewelry. A simple titanium wedding band is engraved and powder-coated with black titanium in a Celtic infinity design. The design gives the ring just enough interest without compromising its simple style statement.
