The Celtic spiral, or whorl, is an affirmation of the power of life force, which flows through every one of us. The cycles of life, death and re-birth are a journey we all travel, which culminates in a spiritual reward. For those who believe in faith and in ascension, the Celtic spiral is a potent reminder of the power of the spirit itself. In Celtic art and history, the mystical power of the spiral is celebrated on metal work, such as Celtic tungsten rings, in stone, and in illuminated texts such as The Books Of Kells. From the sixth century onwards, when the Insular Art Period began in the British Isles, the haunting, curved lines of the this symbol have represented the beauty and magic of existence. The yearning to commune with God and feel his presence is not uniquely Celtic. Nonetheless, it is a huge part of the cultural history of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. This very human desire to understand the meaning of life on earth is part of the spiral’s purpose. It serves as a constant reminder that there is deeper meaning to the passage of time.

In Celtic tungsten bands, the spiral adds dimension and beauty, lending a touch of grace to the expected, plain gold band. If you’re seeking something special, that really evokes your heritage and the way you perceive life, a Celtic wedding ring will allow you to add a touch of timeless meaning to your wedding jewelry.
