Silver Celtic Engagement Rings

I’ve made a post about silver engagement rings; this time will focus on silver rings in Celtic design. Celtic jewelry is increasingly popular as couples want unique engagement rings to symbolize their unions, and silver Celtic engagement rings are a versatile option to find unusual jewelry on a budget.


Silver is a lustrous metal, but in addition to being attractive, it is extremely flexible for Celtic rings. Silver is more soft than other precious metals, meaning it can more easily be shaped and woven into intricate knot patterns. Unlike more rigid metals, silver can even be
fashioned into a real knot, with strands of metal actually tying about one another. That usefulness can create a stunning engagement ring, but silver is actually a wise choice for other reasons.

If the ring will include gemstones – emeralds and diamonds are most popular choices – silver helps the beauty of the gem stand out. Overall, the classic white of silver is less showy than gold, particularly for elaborate Celtic knot designs. Finally, a silver ring is more affordable, giving couples more freedom in finding just the design they want without compromising because of the engagement ring cost.

Silver Celtic engagement rings are beautiful and meaningful as well as budget-conscious. A gorgeous alternative to more common rings, silver rings are easily just as romantic and can become as treasured as any thoughtfully given and accepted engagement ring.

How to Care for Silver Engagement Rings

I assume here that you’ve bought your silver engagement rings. Once you buy a silver ring, you should always consider the additional care necessary to keep the metal tarnish-free. With loving attention, a silver engagement ring will be just as treasured as a gold or platinum ring, and will last far past the silver anniversary.

Here are the tips to care your silver engagement rings:

  • Silver engagement rings should be stored separately from other jewelry to prevent accidental scratches and nicks.

  • Avoid wearing it while involved in heavy activity or cleaning that uses harsh chemicals such as ammonia or bleach, both of which can discolor even fine silver.

  • Silver can be damaged by seawater, so always remove a silver engagement ring before swimming in the ocean, collecting sea shells, or simply spending time at the beach.

  • The most common cleaning problem with silver engagement rings is removing tarnish. Silver reacts naturally with sulfur and hydrogen sulfide in the air, and tarnishing is unavoidable.

  • Wearing a silver ring continuously is the best way to avoid most tarnish buildup because the gentle friction from your fingers will keep the ring bright, but that will not prevent tarnish in delicate designs or along the surface of larger rings.

  • To remove tarnish, use a specially formulated silver polish and a soft, lint-free cloth.
