The Claddagh
is a design of a heart
being encircled by a pair of delicate hands
with a crown above the heart. It is a
symbol of love and friendship. The hands
signify friendship, the crown loyalty, and
the heart love.
The Claddagh ring originated in Claddagh,
said to be the oldest fishing village in
Ireland.
Today, the ring is worn extensively across Ireland, either
on the right hand with the heart turned outwards showing
that the wearer is "fancy free" or with the heart turned
inwards to denote that he or she is "spoken for". The pride
of place is on the left hand, with the heart turned in,
indicating that the wearer is happily married.
