Mr. Pinot Noir and I drove to Fairfield, Connecticut last month for the 2008 Fairfield County Irish Festival to search for his wedding ring! As you may remember, Mr. Pinot Noir and his brothers will be wearing their family kilt for the wedding. He wanted a Celtic two-tone, open knot wedding ring and found a vendor online from Massachusetts who would be at the festival, so we decided to make the drive up.
Celtic Revival is a small family owned business that was started in 1992. They have an extensive selection of beautiful rings with all different designs and types of knots. All of the rings are handmade to order so you can choose the size, width, knot design and the types of metal. Another great thing is that Celtic Revival donates a percentage of the profits from their wedding ring orders to Habitat for Humanity and the Heifer Program.
Luckily, Mr. PN found the perfect ring while we were at the festival! He choose the Serenity 8.2 mm ring with a white gold boarder and a yellow gold center. The pieces at the show were only samples, as all of Celtic Revival’s bands are custom made. It took about four weeks and then we received Mr. PN’s ring via FedEx about a week ago!
It was so fun to watch Mr. PN try on wedding bands. I can’t wait until we are married and I can see his wedding band every day.
The Eco/Socially Responsible Elements
1. Independently owned business.
2. Locally made products.
Others ways to have an ecofriendly wedding band is to use a family piece (like my engagement ring), buy vintage (like my wedding band), or use recycled metals or stones.
How long did it take to find your man’s wedding band - does it match yours?

I really like the ring you two chose. And that’s so awesome that they donate a percentage to Habitat for Humanity and the Heifer program.
It was always a little frustrating to go ring shopping because every ring he tried on was “eh,” but then we found one that he absolutely loved, and as soon as he put it on said “Ok, I could wear this for the rest of my life.” It was so cute! Also a celtic design, but etched into the metal.
I *heart* Heifer Int’l That isn’t they style ring I pictured for my man, but now I have to check them out!

About Me: I am a Minnesota raised, NYC transplant planning a destination wedding in Napa. I'm balancing my love for the environment and my hubby-to-be's love for tradition to create our "green wedding in disguise." Our wedding will include local food and wine, antique touches and lots of love and laughter. When wedding planning isn't taking up my free time (and money) I love to read, cook, workout, watch baseball and travel!
