The Meaning Behind Our Celtic Love Knots
Inspired by the rich artistic tradition of Celtic knotwork, each knot within our decorative infinity handfasting cords has been chosen for its symbolism. Together, they represent the joining of two lives, the strength of their connection and the promises made for the future.
The Infinity Knot
Love without beginning or end
At the centre of the cord sits the Infinity Knot, a symbol of everlasting love and an unbroken bond. Its continuous, flowing form represents two lives becoming intertwined, with no beginning and no end. During a handfasting ceremony, it reflects the couple's commitment to a shared future and the enduring nature of their love.
The Double Heart Knot
Two hearts, one shared journey
Positioned on either side of the Infinity Knot, the Double Heart Knot represents the coming together of two hearts in love. Its interwoven form symbolises partnership, unity and mutual devotion, while recognising the individuality of each person within the relationship. Two hearts, connected through love and strengthened by the journey they share.
The Eternal Knot
Strength, continuity and connection
The Eternal Knot represents the lasting strength of a relationship and the connections that endure through life's changes. Its interlacing strands symbolise resilience, loyalty and the many experiences that shape a life together. A reminder that love continues to grow and evolve, strengthened by every chapter of the journey.
Together, these three knots bring layers of meaning to our Anamchara handfasting cords. Drawing on the beauty of Celtic knotwork, they offer a meaningful expression of the promises exchanged during a handfasting ceremony, and a lasting keepsake of the day.
