The Claddagh Story

Once you’ve learned the poignant story of the very first Claddagh Ring, you will never forget it!

The first ring was created by an Irish fisherman, Richard Joyce, who worked on a vessel far from his native Galway. He was kidnapped at sea, close to Moorish lands, and then he was forced into slavery by a local goldsmith.

Though his situation was dire, Joyce never forgot his one true love, a woman named Margaret – she also waited faithfully for him in Galway.

To show his love, the fisherman-turned-goldsmith crafted a special ring adorned with a unique, crowned-heart-and-hands motif. The crown was for loyalty, the hands symbolized affection and a giving spirit, and the heart…well, the heart was his heart, which never stopped longing for her.

In time, Joyce was released from slavery, and he returned to Ireland, with Margaret’s Claddagh ring in his pocket. When he saw her, he placed it upon her finger, and they were never parted from that day onward…their faith in one another had been justified, and they were rewarded with a lifetime of true love…

Each ring is made by hand in Ireland, with painstaking attention to detail. These stunning designs won’t “disappear” on the hand – they will be noticed and admired for years to come.

The quality and authenticity of each piece is illustrated by a special stamp, or Irish hallmark, which can be found on the inside of every handcrafted band – this stamp is applied at the Assay office of historic Dublin Castle.

Special knot work details add even more Celtic beauty to this Claddagh band.

For centuries, Celtic knot work, or interlace, has been used to add ornate appeal to art treasures and stone and metal works.

Often, Celtic interlace symbolizes eternity…for this reason, it is the perfect complement to this romantic ring…
