Symbolic Meanings of The Designs

If you look around in the world, you'll see how physical forms are made up of elementary shapes, such as circles, triangles, spirals, waves and squares. The Celtic knots in our wedding rings are also made from elementary or primary shapes and patterns. As we see it, these shapes represent basic functions, and are a form of sacred geometry. They point us toward a greater mystery, beyond words or concepts. What you are attracted to will often point you toward something that may bring you insight. What ever you choose, we suggest you spend some time with the image that you feel attracted to, contemplating what it may have to share with you or teach you.

Garden Gate

The symbolism on this gold wedding ring reminds us of our connection to the mystery of plants and the fecundity of the natural world. The sentiment is perfectly expressed by the first line of a famous Dylan Thomas poem, "The force that through the green fuse drives the flower drives my green age." Those who are interest in this ring may well have a passion and intimacy for the natural world, and a deep desire to find their way back home, to Eden.

Hugs and Kisses	This wedding ring clearly symbolizes the interplay of two people on distinct paths, each well defined yet clearly in a connected dance that is goal oriented. Their crossing forms a diamond shape, which shows a dynamic sense of direction as well as a bond to both the heavens and the earth. The ring also symbolizes good communication as a couple and to the world outside the relationship.

Luna	This ring is an abstract representation of the graceful movement of plants. Nature has ease and flow, yet fierce determination to grow and prosper. This motif symbolizes a relationship that is naturally fertile and deeply connected to the movement of all things while also illustrating creativity within structure. This ring also has a delightful element of spontaneity and play within the garden.

Monarch

The Monarch ring, with its great triangles formed by a thin line sweeping through the ring like the outlines of a mountain, symbolizes power and achievement – two individuals coming together to focus and direct their energies for specific intentions which are uplifting for all. There is a strong sense of working together, equally, in the shape of a heart nestled within incredibly strong energy. The ring carries a feeling of Royalty, as the name suggests.

Papyrus	From one point of view, the image is the weaving of a flowering plant; yet, the motif can also be viewed as arms of two lovers reaching up, with lives intertwined and connecting, one to the heavens and one to the earth. There is an artistic fluidity to the movement of these two which is beautiful and graceful. Simply put, this wedding ring symbolizes a joyful connection.

Paradise Flower

This motif suggests the movement and growth of roots and leaves and stems weaving a pattern that is natural and beautiful, like the paradise flower for which it is named. Those who are attracted to this ring may see their marriage as a metaphor expressing the beauty and grace of the natural world. While most knot work is highly structured and formal, this motif accents the organic patterns from which much Celtic and other knotwork draws its inspiration.

Persian Carpet

The Persian Carpet design is one of the more complex knots in our collection. The rectangular motif, intersecting to form triangles, is about strong personal communication. However, the communication is very directed and goal oriented, symbolized by the two strands forming a rectangular shape which then triangulate to form a diamond shaped knot. This diamond shape symbolizes two individuals having very strong intentions and direction on their own, though there's an openness to Spirit as well, individually and within the context of the relationship as a whole. Finally, in this knot there are two parallel strands instead of one making the pattern, which suggests parallel intentions in the relationship. The complexity is organized, and working together, within the space of commitment, as represented by the circular ring itself.

Rolling Moon	Rolling Moon is a ring that symbolizes flow and harmony, a weaving together of two individuals in deep commitment. The two individuals love each other like a peaceful wave. The ring shows a deep and mystical merging together of both the masculine and feminine, the light and the dark, yin and yang. The spiral motif also symbolizes growth and evolution in the context of committed relationship.

Southwest

This ring, heavily influenced by Native American iconography, represents the grounded intention to live on earth connected to that natural world. The central motifs are the circle, which represents respect and oneness with all that is; and the square, which is often used to build structures based on clear communication. Also represented are the four directions, flowing into the circle. Those who are attracted to this ring may feel that we are all related and part of a beautiful whole, while being reminded of the underlying forces which give structure to life.

Starry Night	This gold wedding ring, reminiscent of the Van Gogh painting by the same name, has symbolism that suggests fluid movement, the ease of water curving through earth, or clouds in the night sky sparkling with stars. To us, the ring symbolizes a relationship intimate with the movement of all things; a relationship as full of possibility and inspiration as the play of form and emptiness.

Weaving Stars

With the knot work in the Weaving Stars ring, the emphasis, with the rectangular design, is on strong personal communication within the borders of commitment, a represented by the circular ring itself. The two individuals also have very strong intentions and direction, but Spirit is present as well. This is illustrated by the diamond motifs within the rectangle and outside it, symbolizing opening up to inspiration individually and within the context of the relationship as a whole.

Wind and Waves

Some mystics say the heart is all encompassing, like a great ocean. Here, the sweeping arch of the wind and waves motif, like waves on an ocean, symbolizes the flow of harmonious emotional and spiritual movement. Does not the wave contain the entire ocean, and the ocean contain every wave? Where does one begin and one end? The triangular points and strong sweeping arcs illustrate intention and direction within the greater circle. Those couples who relate to this ring have a deep emotional, passionate connection. The watery feeling is indicative of merging and emergence, flowing into unity.

Yin Yang

This wedding ring has an abstract, dynamic pattern which is named after the ancient Chinese symbol, the Tai-Chi, which depicts the interaction of yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) energies. We see it as symbolizing the balance and harmony of the creative and dynamic interaction of the directive and receptive flows. Perhaps those who choose this ring are seeking a harmonious flow together, like the ease of water finding its way to the great ocean.
