After a couple has decided to get married the design of their weddings ring comes next into attention. In UK the Celtic tradition is still preserved in the decorations, in the style of fashion, and last, but not least, in the wedding rings that couples choose as a symbol to strengthen their marriage, to keep it safe and stable. It is because of their tradition inherited from the ancestors, that the UK couples prefer to choose as design for their wedding rings, the Celtic symbols.

Basically it is not recorded any proof of the meaning of the Celtic symbols; we don't know for sure if their art in knotting and braiding was planned to mean something or merely meant to be a decorative design. The fact that the knotting art was related to spiritual meanings is that after the Christians came to power in Ireland, Scotland and Britain it became the symbol of love printed in the shape of intertwined hearts in Christian scriptures.

Among the most used designs of the knot art we meet some forms of the number three, meaning the unity of body, mind and spirit, seen as the symbol of the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Celtic knots as a style in creating jewels stay at the origin of the braided wedding rings in UK; their symbols are referred to as mystical knots, or endless knots. The view of these beautiful knots reminds us of the eternity that lays in nature, translated as the timeless nature of our spirit. The Celtic knot is made of two interwoven threads with no beginning and no end. Its infinite flow represents an uninterrupted life cycle. Some interpret this symbol as a charm protecting us against sickness that might interfere in our life; this is the reason why, in ancient times, gifts adorned with knots would be handed with the wishes of longevity, or good luck.

The combination of knots into continuous strands makes us think of the bonds that tie us together in an everlasting unity that grows lager and more stable with every generation to come.

The modern jewelers have taken this symbol and put it in their art craft in order to create designs of rings that exhale elegance and grace, especially using the hand crafted skills. Their purpose is to make meticulous designs with true heart's dedication, in this way to deliver affection along with the beauty of the jewel.

So, we may ask ourselves: what can be there simpler, yet render an important and meaningful message than a braided wedding ring? Its repetitive and intertwined motif lies at the bases of the belief that we are all inexorably wrapped up with all that exists around us, with the spirit of nature that join us in this life and in the one to come. This braided wedding band represents what a couple is looking to have in the spirit of their marriage: a union that bonds them together in an eternity of love and good luck.
