As part of your design options we offer several corner symbols and scrolls. Most of the scrool work is ornamental but some of the designs actually have a meaning attached to them.
Triquetra with Heart
This is a traditional Celtic Knot in which the traditional triquetra is opened to include a heart. This is an infinity knot in which the one line creates both the image of the Trinity and the message of God’s love. These knots that are popularly known as the eternity knot represents the union of two souls by interweaving two individual strands. They are commonly used in Celtic wedding rings which portray two unbroken loops that intertwine and are inseparable from each other. They also symbolize the never-ending cycle of life with their intricate and interwoven patterns that have no end or beginning. The crossings in a love knot often depict the spiritual meaning of life.
