About this pair
Celtic and Celtic, anodised, side by side
One knot, cut into two metals, and in the second it becomes colour. Celtic, in satin titanium, shows its knot as relief and shadow, grey on grey. Celtic, anodised cuts the same knot into natural zirconium and anodises the cut, so the pattern reads as a line of colour against bright satin metal. Next to each other, the first ring is sculptural and the second graphic, and anyone who looks closely can see they share a pattern down to the last crossing of the knot.
Each ring on its own
Celtic is light titanium knotwork, satin finished, from 4 to 10mm. Celtic, anodised offers the knot in dark blue, purply blue, bronze, pink or yellow, the colour grown from the zirconium's own oxide rather than painted on. Both are hypoallergenic. On its own, the titanium ring is the easy everyday band, and the anodised one suits someone who wants colour without it covering the whole ring.

Choosing between the options
Colour is the main decision, and since the titanium ring has none, the coloured knot becomes the only accent in the pair. Anodised colour is a surface finish, which abrasion can change. Where you each want colour, the anodised design worn twice, in one shade or two, gives it. Those who prefer two quiet rings will find two titanium Celtic bands an easy match.
