Celtic wedding bands have their origins in Ireland. The word Celtic is derived from the Celts who inhabited Ireland centuries ago. Celtic bands derive their designs from Irish manuscripts, like the Book of Kells. Celtic wedding bands have been traditional the world over and are popular today. In early days, these were treated as a symbol of wealth, status and fidelity. They were passed on from one generation to the other, thus becoming family heirlooms.

Celtic bands are available for both, men and women. These are hand made by special craftspeople in Ireland and are then shipped across the globe. These bands are continuous circle and do not have a beginning or an end. This symbolizes eternal and endless love. The characteristic of a Celtic band is the design that appears as metal strands interwoven together. These are said to bind the couple together for their past, present and future. Celtic wedding bands/rings come in sets with diamond rings. In order to make Celtic designs on rings, these need to have a specific width. These bands cannot be resized and care should be taken that the precise ring-size is chosen. Designs can be of different kinds such as the Celtic Knot Work, Trinity Knot, and Celtic Warrior Shield. Different designs symbolize different things. There are very few knots of Celtic design that are said to be Scottish, Irish or Welsh.

When looking at a Celtic band, it should be noted that the designs are not broken and are continuous. Sometimes in order to fit the right ring size, a jeweler might compromise on the designs. In Celtic bands, the choice of metal can be silver, white gold, gold and platinum. Along with handcrafted designs, precious stones can also be set. Celtic bands are gaining popularity, as they are symbolic and come with a tradition of exquisite craftsmanship.
