This Claddagh ring is very dainty petite, and lightweight. An ideal choice for a young child or teenager. There is very good attention to detail on the cuffs of the hand and the crown. The Claddagh ring is an all time favourite with Irish people as the meaning speaks of Love, Loyalty and Friendship. The two hands signify friendship, the heart love, and the crown loyalty.Traditionally it was worn as wedding band, however, in more modern times it is worn as an expression of love or friendship. There are two ways of wearing the ring. If the heart is pointing towards the body, the wearer is 'spoken for' so to speak, worn with the heart pointing away from the body indicates the wearer is on the 'lookout' for a new romance or her heart is not taken.Measures 1/4 inch from top of crown down to tip of the heart.
This ring is a fine example of the Irish Celts love of circles and spirals. The design is inspired by ancient carvings on the entrance stone at Newgrange, Ireland's most famous burial tomb.In the making of this ring we capture the essence of these decorated stone spirals to perfection. The ring has been polished to a high gloss drawing your eye to the beautiful design.Available in two widths: 4.4mm which is ideal for women, and 5.8mm which works very well for men. We custom make this ring in Sterling Silver, White or Yellow Gold.
