{"product_id":"dark-celtic-ring-box","title":"Dark Celtic Ring Box | Gothic Pagan Wedding Ring Holder","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe stained the beech for this one until it was almost black. The knot on the lid is yours to pick. Inside there's preserved eucalyptus as the filler, and the rings sit right on it. If your wedding has candles, this is the box we'd choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Celtic knot goes on dark wood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engraving is quiet on this wood. Tilt the lid toward a window or a candle and the knot shows up, in flat light it hides a little. We like that, but you should know before you order. Two knots look best to us:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriskele, the three-armed spiral. A very old one: there's one at Newgrange, carved around 3200 BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShield knot. Square and sturdy, made for protection, and its lines stay sharp on dark wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other knots from the list work too: trinity, love knot, Serch Bythol, eternity knot, Dara, tree of life and Claddagh. Got your own sketch or a bindrune? Put it in the order notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it looks like by candlelight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the lid in a dim room and the green jumps out against the wood. That contrast is great for photos, too. Black, burgundy or deep green outfits and decor all go with it. The latch and feet are antique bronze, a bit worn looking on purpose. Put it on an altar and nobody will guess it's new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePagan handfastings, gothic weddings, autumn ceremonies in castles or old churches. A bright garden wedding? Take the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/celtic-ring-box\"\u003egolden oak Celtic ring box\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it really black?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot quite. It's a very dark brown, and in low light you'd call it black. The grain still shows through. For proper black, see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gothic-style-ring-boxes\"\u003eblack gothic ring boxes\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich knot for a pagan handfasting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny of them. The triskele and the trinity knot come up a lot because they have three parts: land, sea and sky for some people, maiden, mother and crone for others. But if the shield knot is the one that gets you, go with that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the leaves need care?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo watering, they're preserved.
