The ancient Celts, the earliest tribes about whom not much is known and who gave use many of the symbols used on Celtic tungsten rings such as the eternity knot, triquetra, and triskele, which they used rather than writing. Like many ancient cultures they maintained their history through retold tradition and the symbols were a way of illustrating their monuments and places of worship and were drawn or rendered in clothing, art, and jewelry for educational or spiritual purposes. Their lack of a written language in which their history was kept made it challenging for anthropologists to study their culture and ascertain the exact meaning of the symbols, but their use and reverence of the symbols that their intense study did manage to interpret made them that much more appropriate for use as adornments of Celtic tungsten rings. Ancient written texts from later generations have also been discovered and helped attribute meaning with certainty to the symbols used on Celtic tungsten rings. The Book of Kells is the most known and comprehensive of such texts. Many Celtic symbols that had been around for ages were also assigned new meanings after Ireland’s mass conversion to Christianity, particularly Catholicism, which adapted many of the Celtic gods and traditions to win over the population. Due to this part of Celtic history, Celtic tungsten rings are also quite popular in Christian and Catholic wedding ceremonies.
