The Claddagh Story 

The Claddagh ring has been a traditional symbol in the West of Ireland for generations.

Its origin goes back more than 300 years to the little fishing village of Claddagh just outside the city walls of Galway.

Traditionally the ring, of unique design, was kept as a family heirloom and passed down from mother to daughter, serving as an engagement ring and later as a wedding ring.

The Claddagh design shows a heart, which symbolizes love, hands for friendship and a crown for loyalty.
