Description

A brilliant-cut diamond stars as the centerpiece of this engagement ring from ShanOre?s Darina white gold collection, and rich sapphires frame the diamond on either side. Trinity Love knot shoulders on the band add depth and texture to an already exquisite design. This ring is also available in 14 karat white gold.

The Tale of the Trinity Love Knot

The Irish are well-known for both their fanciful and religious decorative work in the form of Celtic knots. Variations of the knot, involving plaiting, braiding, and spirals amongst other shapes, originally adorned Bible manuscripts, jewelry, carvings, and sculptures. Over the years, these mainly ornamental icons have adopted more symbolic meanings. The Love knot, with its strands that interweave and never end, can represent the infinite love between two individuals, as well as the eternal quality of their human spirits. When this pattern appears on engagement or wedding rings, however, the couple usually decides what the three-cornered shape means to their relationship. 

Blue Armor

Few could argue that the sapphire is one of the most stunning gems of all. Those women who are fortunate enough to boast a September birthday can claim a special connection to the sapphire, and might request that this symbol of their wisdom and truthfulness be featured in their engagement ring. Historically, this stone has protected its wearer from illness and misfortune. What better way to begin a marriage but with an amulet of this caliber on one?s finger? The woman who hints that she wants splashes of blue to accompany her diamond is a person who cares deeply for the health of her relationship. The Trinity Love knots reinforce the presence of an immortal alliance between her and her beloved, and perhaps even a shared affection for their Irish roots.
