Wedding Rings And Celtic Jewelry

By: Jonathon Blocker

Wedding rings and celtic jewelry. Tungsten Wedding Rings, Celtic Jewelry Old Meets New

Tungsten rings and jewelry made palladium are cutting edge. Unlike traditional gold and silver rings which are relatively soft, tungsten rings are virtually indestructible, and will shine for decades without the need for polishing!

On the other hand, when it comes to wedding rings Celtic jewelry represent an ancient tradition. As a distinct group of people, the Celts were perhaps the first Indo-Aryan speakers to enter Europe, as long ago as 3,000 B.C.E. Although they never coalesced to form an empire in the political sense, their cultural influence spanned the entire continent and beyond, from Galatia in present-day Turkey to islands off the west coast of Ireland. Today, their descendants in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany continue to influence the design of modern jewelry with Celtic knotwork rings in the form of tungsten rings and palladium wedding bands.

About Celtic Knot Engagement Rings

Ancient Celtic art shares an interesting aspect with art in the Islamic world. Both religious traditions, while having almost nothing in common in terms of theology, have historically shared proscriptions against the depiction of living things, i.e. plants, animals and people. Muslim artists, strongly influenced by mathematics, thus based their works on geometric patterns, while art among the Celtic tribes took the form of interwoven cords known as plaits. These ancient designs are now regularly worked into modern Celtic knotwork rings.

Despite the fact that modern Wiccans sometimes attribute magical properties to Celtic knotwork, there is no historical or archeological evidence to show that Celtic art had any religious or ceremonial significance and thats all right. It is enough for wedding rings, Celtic jewelry and other pieces to simply look attractive; elaborate Celtic knot engagement rings can certainly be enjoyed on a strictly aesthetic basis.

The Use of Modern Metals

Tacori rings bring this ancient Celtic tradition into the 21st Century with tungsten carbide wedding rings and palladium wedding bands. These space-age metals are extremely durable and long lasting. Because of their sheer hardness, tungsten rings (made of the same material as the filaments in old-style incandescent light bulbs) do not scratch easily, and since they do not become tarnished, they need very little in the way of maintenance (such as polishing).

Metals such as tungsten and palladium have become more valuable then gold and platinum; not only are palladium wedding bands and tungsten rings uncommonly beautiful, they also make an excellent investment.
