The more one reads about the wedding rings of Ireland, the more one understands the romantic nature of those rings. The writer of the following article has read a good deal about wedding jewelry, and she has read about the legends behind the Celtic knot and the Celtic cross. She has read about the captured Irishman who designed a special ring for his lover. Upon recalling what she has read, and then after supplementing that same information with facts about black onyx men’s jewelry, the writer has had time to reflect. She has put her reflections in the following article.
Politicians, veterans and former Boy Scouts might have reason to wear a pin, but not a black pin. Such pins do not belong among the black onyx men’s jewelry. Some gang members wear a long necklace, but that is usually a silver or gold necklace. An online search for such necklaces reveals that such necklaces are not found on the same web page as the black jewelry for men.
On the other hand, an online search for rings can lead to discovery of a fair number of men’s rings, some or which have been decorated with black onyx. Sometimes the onyx rises above the surface of the ring. Sometimes the black gemstone forms a sort of “paving” on the top of the ring.
Among the rings with the black “paving,” one can find some with a decorated “paving.” Among those rings with the decorated black gemstone, one can find rings bearing the Celtic cross. It is that Celtic cross that has added to the romantic aspect of men’s rings. It is the black gemstone beneath that cross that has placed the decorated rings among the black onyx men’s jewelry.
The fascination that jewelers have with the Celtic cross began many centuries ago. Some of the ancient Celtic engagement rings displayed a Celtic knot. That knot came to symbolize the traits of the typical Irishman. History has molded the traits of the citizens of Ireland. The Irish fought-off attacks from Vikings and Normans. Then the Irish endured a severe famine.
Not every Celtic knot is found on an engagement ring. Some are found on a wedding band. For that reason, one might find a Celtic cross on the ring finger of a married man. And that Celtic cross might decorate a black onyx.
What is the Celtic cross? It is a cross with a circle around the area where the two bars intersect. During the 7th Century, residents of Ireland and the British Isles often found such a cross standing upright on a piece of land. Later, legendary tales suggested that Saint Patrick had used such a cross to help with conversion of the heathens on Ireland.
A man wearing a ring with a Celtic cross calls-up thoughts about the significance of a Celtic knot on a wedding band. Such a knot was called “The Tread of Life.” A man wearing a ring with that knot was believed to display strong devotion to his wife. That explains why the Celtic knot, and then the Celtic cross began to decorate Irish wedding bands.
Jewelers do not let the public forget the meaning of the most ancient of symbols. Jewelers have welcomed the chance to make and sell rings that contain a black onyx, often a decorated onyx.
