Rings from the Latène period were only rarely found and were mostly made of bronze, but in early Celtic time there were also precious finger rings of pure gold. The Celts already created rings with geometric patterns and embellishments with triangles, circles and rhombuses in the Hallstatt period. By Greek and Etruscan influence emerged end of the 6. Jh. V. In the Celtic latène culture also Mediterranean ornaments and motifs.
At the beginning, naturalistic motifs still predominated in sculptures, such as faces and animals, as well as illustrations of palms and acanthus limbs. In the late latène period, plastic knot patterns were formed, which were transformed into complex patterns of intertwined spirals and loops.
