When choosing a Celtic ring it is a good idea to see if the ring can be sized. Often the knot work is linked all the way around – meaning that if you get the size wrong, or your finger size gets bigger, then the knot work is damaged in the sizing process. A good jeweler will be able to size silver or gold Celtic knot rings a few sizes up without damaging the Celtic ring, but sizing down is another story. A piece will have to be removed – this will affect the Celtic pattern. Many Celtic rings cannot be sized at all – like one made in Titanium and sterling silver – the titanium Celtic ring cannot be sized up or down. Some Background on Celtic Knot RingsĀ and Celtic Cross Pendants. The Celtic knot symbol, is also called the mystic knot, and the endless knot. The more esoteric or spiritual meaning of this symbol refers to beginnings and endings. In looking at these types of beautiful knots, we can’t see a beginning or an end, and so we’re reminded of the ageless nature of our spirit. This interpretation goes back to to our most primal selves when we think about the infinite cycles of birth and rebirth in both the physical and ethereal realms. When sizing a Celtic ring or buying Celtic jewelry or Celtic knots look out for ring sizing problems – Celtic jewelry is widely available and if you search the net you will find plenty of resources.
