Interlacing designs traces its origins to the works of art from the Roman Empire. Through the years, they have manifested themselves in knot patterns which have been present as early as the third and fourth centuries A.D. These patterns are found and embellished in various objects, art, architecture and edifices in vast cultures like Byzantine, Islam, Ethiopian, European and Celtic.
Celtic knots are famous for their beautiful and intricate designs and are mostly endless in interlacing pattern. Chevrons, step patterns, elliptical and non-elliptical designs and spiral designs are prominent motifs in Celtic culture. Some of these patterns were first manifested by interweaving cords in intricate ways. Celtic knots are notable symbols and representations and are used, like other knots, as ornaments and to decorate different monuments, manuscripts, art, architecture and jewelry. The Celts Despite their ancient origins, Celtic knots have found their way to the modern age and still continue to be used as designs, patterns and ornamentations for various objects and art. The delicateness and intricacy of these patterns never fail to enchant and captivate onlookers and the complex knot patterns may be engraved on the surfaces of jewelry. Being both beautiful and delicate in design, it would not be a surprise to find these ancient patterns on the surfaces of, for instance, platinum necklaces, and platinum arm bands and even platinum wedding rings for men and women. Platinum, being wear-and-tarnish resistant, make it well suited to making fine jewelry.
Also its silvery-white appearance makes it a beautiful setting for the complexity of Celtic patterns because it allows the engravings to stand out. Because Celtic knots are well known for their endless patterns, they perfectly symbolize the sacredness of marriage.
This association of Celtic knots, coupled with platinum's superior qualities, makes platinum wedding rings for men and women engraved with Celtic knot patterns the perfect way to tie the knot. Similarly, platinum wedding rings for men as well as women and bracelets embellished with Celtic knot patterns give the wearer a feel of what it was like to live in the time of the ancient Celts since they were also very much fond of displaying these patterns on their jewelry.
A form of wonderment can thus be accounted to the ancient Celts whose culture continue to thrive in today's times through the continuous manifestation of the Celtic knot and its presence in modern day culture, art and objects.
