They are more than just carefully poured metal, they have a rich history and deep symbolism. Each different kind of ring has its own meaning and history. Dome Claddagh rings, for example, is traditionally used to signal romantic interest or disinterest, but it also has a rich origin story. One version of the story states that a rich widow was rewarded with the first Claddagh ring by an eagle, after she remarried and used her fortune to rebuild Connacht bridges. Another version tells that a Prince designed the ring for his lover, a commoner, to prove to her that his intentions were true. The story that most people believe to be accurate is of Richard Joyce, who was sold to a goldsmith in Algiers as a slave. The goldsmith trained him in the art of ring making, which Joyce used to design a special ring for his intended. Whatever story you believe, the hands are usually believed to represent friendship, the heart - love, and the crown - loyalty. Celtic love knot rings, of course, symbolize unending love, the knots tying two lovers together. But some of these rings can also be used to as a token of any kind of love, including passion for a specific vocation, or the love between siblings, friends, or parents and children. Many also wear a Celtic love knot ring as a symbol of protection or hope. Besides being a symbol of love and devotion, these rings are beautiful and are an excellent addition to any wardrobe and outfit. Trinity Celtic rings do have a more defined meaning. For some, the three points of the knot symbolize the Holy Trinity, though it is more likely that if this symbol has any religious roots at all, it is in a pagan religion, where the three points would symbolize the Mother, Crone, and Maiden. This symbol was regularly found in ancient burial and holy sites, where it is likely to have represented the deities those civilizations worshiped. Today, it is used to symbolize unity, or anything three-pronged idea, including the Holy Trinity. Other interpretations include past, present, and future; mother, father, and child; and sprit, mind, and body.
