The Celtic Knot

The Celtic Knot is one of the best known motifs in Celtic art & folklore. The twists and turns of the design are found in ancient stone art and tattoos, in illuminated manuscripts- in fact, just about anywhere the Celtic people have traveled through the centuries.

The Celtic knot is also known as the universal symbol of an endless circle of one. A wedding ring with Celtic knotwork is a row of intertwined knots with no beginning and no end - symbolizing the winding together of a couples lives into one.

For those of us with Irish heritage, a knot pays homage to your rich Celtic roots along with your marriage. The knot then represents the intertwining of the love, friendship, lives and heritage of two people.

The Celtic Trinity Knot

The Celtic trinity knot has appeared in several guises through the centuries. The Celts were very familiar with the trinity as the symbol of life being earth wind and water.

Later as life became somewhat easier for the ancient Celts the trinity came to mean mind, body, spirit or past present and future.

However, with the coming of St. Patrick and Christianity the knot was reinterpreted as the perfect symbol of the divine trinity and representing eternity.

In Modern times the simple design has been given as a token of never ending love. The enchanting knot has been updated by the crafts.
