Celtic Knot Wedding Rings
The earliest examples of Celtic knotwork appear in a 7th century Gospel book created in Northern Britain. Early Celtic artists were influenced by knotwork appearing in Roman art.
Celtic knots have since been used to decorate manuscripts such as the peerless Book of Kells, in stonework as on the high Celtic Cross, and in metalwork such as the intricate Ardagh Chalice.
The Celtic knot has endured throughout history, and the seamless repetition of these patterns represents to us the love and unending commitment exchanged with the marriage vows.
The Trinity Knot is an example of Celtic knotwork, often used as decoration and ornamentation in Celtic or 'Insular' art. The Trinity Knot is used throughout the calf-vellum folios of the Book of Kells and has come to be associated intimately with this magnificent example of Insular art. The Trinity Knot has a pre-Christian origin but was subsequently used to represent the Holy Trinity of father, son and Holy Spirit.
