Unconventional Ways To Wear Celtic Rings

Celtic Rings Set To Establish A Cutting Edge Fashion

Celtic rings are normally worn on the finger while white gold bangles delicately encircle a wrist. But they could well be used to fill a hole in an ear or hang elegantly from a lobe.

Before you start to think we certainly have gone completely mad; we are mentioning the most up-to-date fad to hit the high street as well as our TV screens. However we do agree there is a certain amount of yuk factor, rather than x factor involved.

Extended ear lobes are becoming an increasingly common sight, it seems like large holes in the ear is attracting celebs and non celebs alike. The holes could very well be teased in order to become sufficiently big to hang Celtic rings along with other items of jewelry.

Among those who have recently shown off their large ear piercings in public places are Seb, late of "Masterchef: the Professional" contest and Dougie Poynter of McFly in ITV1's program I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. It's not just punks, models and rock stars who are deciding on stretched earlobes. It's growing in appeal like tattoos along with piercings and becoming more mainstream.

There are several of ways to stretch ear lobes. You can take the gentle procedure and stretch your skin using various sized tapers at 1mm month after month. Or if you wish instant big holes you might choose a dermal punch to literally punch out the flesh. Ouch! There are many unsightly risks, like scarring or lobe splitting if you take things too fast while stretching. If you wish to correct deformities in the lobes you will end up considering expensive surgery.

But there's nothing new about ear stretching, which goes back many thousands of years. Buddha statues have long ears and tribes in Ethiopia and Thailand have got a long custom of stretched lobes.

Celtic Rings Really Should Be On The Fingers

For a lot of people the very idea of simply a small ear piercing is unattractive enough. It is something that we've endured for fashion's sake. After the initial piecing is finished and the ear has calmed down, that's the end of the bother or pain.

Probably it is wiser to keep your Celtic rings on your fingers and your white gold bangles for your wrists. That is definitely less bother in the long run and looks good too.

There's no need to be unconventional to appreciate the slightly unusual. Look at our Celtic rings and white gold bangles to see just a small part of the range created by our famous Orkney jewellery designer.
