That is why we encourage our customers to return their ring to us for quick and professional ring re-sizing at a fee that is complimentary. These are important things to consider when making a promise ring band purchase because like our rings memories should last a lifetime.
Diodorus made the following observations, "Their aspect is terrifying...They are very tall in stature, with ripping muscles under clear white skin. Their hair is blond, but not naturally so: they bleach it, to this day, artificially, washing it in lime and combing it back from their foreheads. They look like wood-demons, their hair thick and shaggy like a horse's mane. Some of them are clean-shaven, but others - especially those of high rank, shave their cheeks but leave a mustache that covers the whole mouth and, when they eat and drink, acts like a sieve, trapping particles of food...The way they dress is astonishing: they wear brightly colored and embroidered shirts, with trousers called brace and cloaks fastened at the shoulder with an engraved brooch, heavy in winter, light in summer. These cloaks are striped or checkered in design, with the separate checks close together and in various colors. The Celts wear bronze engraved figures on their helmets, sticking out on them are horns, which made them look even taller than they already are...while others cover themselves with engraved breast-armor made out of linked together metal rings. But most content themselves with the weapons nature gave them: they go naked into battle...Weird, discordant horns were sounded, [they shouted in chorus with their] deep and harsh voices, they beat their swords rhythmically against their shields........In exactly the same way as hunters do with their skulls of the animals they have slain...they preserved the heads of their most high-ranking victims in cedar oil, keeping them carefully in wooden boxes," . The defeat of Rome by the Celts was the most humiliating defeat the Roman Empire ever would face and further enhanced the Celts reputation as a fierce warrior people. At this time in history, when asked why they would invade a nation and demand land on pain of war, a Celtic warrior responded, "To the brave belong all things,"
