Embrace the Beauty of Claddagh Tradition
The very first Claddagh ring, which is known as the Royal Claddagh Ring, was created by a Galway, Ireland native, Richard Joyce, while he was a slave in Moorish lands.
Bruce was a fishermen who was taken captive at sea and then forced to work as a goldsmith. Because he pined for his true love, Margaret, he used his new goldsmithing skills in order to create a unique ring in her honour.
In time, Bruce was freed from slavery, through the intervention of a British king. At this point, he travelled home to Galway, and then presented the ring that he made to his true love. Margaret.
Touchingly, she had waited faithfully for his return. Margaret wore her new design with pride for the rest of her days, and the couple lived happily ever after.
This romantic tale, and the beautiful ring that it inspired, form the roots of a powerful Irish tradition. Today, the Claddagh ring still resonates, as a perfect symbol of undying affection.
As you can see, the symbolism of our diamond Claddagh design is so appropriate for any bride-to-be. As a talisman and a gorgeous symbol of love and passion, the classic Claddagh Ring truly has no rival.
