– Old Meets New
Tungsten rings and jewelry made palladium are cutting edge.
Unlike traditional gold and silver rings which are relatively
soft, tungsten rings are virtually indestructible, and will
shine for decades without the need for polishing!
On the other hand, when it comes to wedding rings Celtic jewelry
represent an ancient tradition. As a distinct group of people,
the Celts were perhaps the first Indo-Aryan speakers to enter
Europe, as long ago as 3,000 B.C.E. |
Although they never coalesced to form an empire in the political
sense, their cultural influence spanned the entire continent and
beyond, from Galatia in present-day Turkey to islands off the west
coast of Ireland. Today, their descendants in Scotland, Ireland,
Wales, Cornwall and Brittany continue to influence the design of
modern jewelry with Celtic knotwork rings in the form of tungsten
rings and palladium wedding bands.
About Celtic Knot Engagement Rings
Ancient Celtic art shares an interesting aspect with art in the
Islamic world. Both religious traditions, while having almost nothing
in common in terms of theology, have historically shared proscriptions
against the depiction of living things, i.e. plants, animals and
people. Muslim artists, strongly influenced by mathematics, thus
based their works on geometric patterns, while art among the Celtic
tribes took the form of interwoven cords known as plaits. These
ancient designs are now regularly worked into modern Celtic knotwork
rings.
Despite the fact that modern Wiccans sometimes attribute magical
properties to Celtic knotwork, there is no historical or archeological
evidence to show that Celtic art had any religious or ceremonial
significance – and that’s all right. It is enough for wedding rings,
Celtic jewelry and other pieces to simply look attractive; elaborate
Celtic knot engagement rings can certainly be enjoyed on a strictly
aesthetic basis.
The Use of Modern Metals
Tacori rings bring this ancient Celtic tradition into the 21st Century
with tungsten carbide wedding rings and palladium wedding bands.
These space-age metals are extremely durable and long lasting. Because
of their sheer hardness, tungsten rings (made of the same material
as the filaments in old-style incandescent light bulbs) do not scratch
easily, and since they do not become tarnished, they need very little
in the way of maintenance (such as polishing).
Metals such as tungsten and palladium have become more valuable
then gold and platinum; not only are palladium wedding bands and
tungsten rings uncommonly beautiful, they also make an excellent
investment.
