These wedding rings are inspired by the standing stone Celtic Crosses of Ireland. Though the last crosses were made in the 15th century, hundreds of examples still exist in Ireland today.
The Celtic Cross is understood to be a fusion of the symbolism of pre-Christian and Christian beliefs. The sun cross is a pre-chrisitian symbol representing unity and polarity, much like the yin-yang of eastern philosophy. The Celtic Cross combines this simple icon with the Christian Cross representing the crucifix.
For the Irish people, the Celtic Cross is therefore a fusion of old-world and new-world belief systems. The Celtic Cross is often made of stone and richly decorated. Though the last crosses were made in the 15th century, hundreds of examples still exist in Ireland today.
