☙ More about the Claddagh❧
The Claddagh is a traditional Celtic Irish ring that represents love, loyalty, and friendship. The name comes from the village of Claddagh in County Galway, Ireland. The Claddagh ring consists of two hands holding a heart, with a crown on top. The hands represent friendship, the heart represents love, and the crown represents loyalty.
The Claddagh has been used as a wedding ring in Ireland for centuries. In Irish legend, the first Claddagh ring was made by a man named Richard Joyce for his fiancée who was taken captive by pirates and sold into slavery. After she was freed, they were married and lived happily ever after.
Today, the Claddagh is still a popular choice for wedding rings in Ireland. It is also worn as a fashion accessory or given as a gift to symbolize friendship, love, or loyalty.
