We can custom engrave a message on the inside of the rings – which is always a nice touch for any couple who are making their vows to each other. Some lovely ideas for engraving are as follows:

• together for ever
• two hearts beating as one
• wedding dates

Engraving the date of your wedding is always a good idea – especially if you are like me and manage to forget my anniversary date – not nice, but a fact. Men often get into trouble for missing important dates – so this will really help. The motif on the rings is the Cladddegh symbol – the heart, crown and the hands. Running down the side of the ring is a Celtic knot design which symbolises the tying of two peoples hearts together. These rings can be made in any ring size you choose – even very large sizes for men and tiny ring sizes for woman. If you have really small fingers some of the knot work patterning may be lost. “With these hands I thee hold, with heart I thee love and with this crown I do thee honor”.  This is what the symbols represent on the claddagh ring.  When you buy claddagh rings, whether they are for friendship, or for love, you will need to know which way to wear the rings. Friendship, love and honor.

• Worn on the right hand with the point of the heart going toward the fingertips, the person is single and is probably looking for a relationship or love.
• Worn on the right hand and the point of the heart facing the wrist, the person is in a steady relationship, or their heart has been taken by another.
• Worn on the left hand with the point of the heart going towards the fingertips, the person is engaged to be married.
• The claddagh ring worn on the left hand with the heart pointing towards the wrist means that the person is married.

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.
