Short answer: Celtic wedding bands use designs from Irish and Scottish tradition, such as endless knots, the Claddagh (hands, heart and crown) and the trinity knot. The knots have no beginning or end, which is why they are linked with eternal love. Ivevar does not currently make Celtic knot bands, but the guide below explains the main symbols and alternatives with a similar feel.
Common Celtic Symbols
| Symbol | Look | Common meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Endless knot | Interwoven lines with no end | Eternal love and unity |
| Trinity knot | Three interlaced loops | Often read as past, present and future |
| Claddagh | Two hands holding a crowned heart | Love, loyalty and friendship |
Alternatives With a Similar Feel
If you love the idea of an unbroken, meaningful pattern, consider an eternity band with stones all the way around, a vintage geometric pattern band, or an engraved band with a symbol of your choice inside. Engraving a small knot or your initials inside a plain band keeps the meaning private and personal.
