Now, let’s talk about Claddagh symbolism and how it is such an integral part of Irish culture…
Enjoy Centuries of Emerald Isle Symbolism
For thousands of years, the Irish have worn Claddagh rings in order to show their love and loyalty. These uniquely Irish designs feature crowned-heart-and-hands motifs, which are highly distinctive and meaningful.
In medieval times, when the first Claddagh ring was invented (by a Galway-born fisherman), the crown was a powerful symbol of loyalty.
In fact, every citizen swore fealty to the crown.
By placing a crown atop the heart, this Irish fisherman-turned-goldsmith, Richard Joyce, illustrated loyalty in matters of the heart.
To add even more tenderness to the first Claddagh ring, he decided that the heart should be gently clasped by a pair of tiny hands, which seem to offer the heart to another…
Now that you understand the primary symbolism of a traditional Irish Claddagh ring, you should also know that how you wear your Claddagh ring tells a tale…
If you’re single, be sure to wear the ring with the crown facing outwards, away from you. If you’re “taken”, wear the ring with its crown facing inwards…

I WOULD LIKE TO WIN FOR MY DAUGHTER.
So very beautiful.This reminds me of a ring that my grandfather gave me for my 13th birthday, emeralds being my birthstone. Unfortunately I lost it at the public swimming pool due to a 13 year olds lack of forethought, I left it on my towel and it was gone in a flash. It took nearly a year for me to tell my grandfather but I did and after a short lecture he forgave me and for my 14th birthday he gave me a different emerald ring that I have protected and proudly worn for for 40 years.
I love this ring!
