The Claddagh Ring is said to be in existence since the 17th century. Its origin was traced back to the old fishing village situated on the shore of “Claddagh” of Galway Bay.

Many romantic tales surrounded the history of the Claddagh, it is customary to give or receive this emblem as a token of love and affection

The design shows two hands holding a heart crowned – theme suggesting “Let Love and Friendship Reign”. To this day the Claddagh is used as a wedding ring

The motif associated with the wearing of the Claddagh Ring is handed down through generations – if the Claddagh is received from a loved one the heart is posed towards the wearer’s heart, if the love and friendship ceases to reign the Claddagh is worn with the heart facing outwards.

Because of its historical origins and romantic appeal popularity of this ring has increased enormously in recent times.
