Forged in the 17th century, this Irish love token originated in a small village called Claddagh. The hands represent friendship, the heart love and the crown loyalty. Bearing a heart, clasped hands, and a crown — the Claddagh ring should be worn differently depending on your relationship status:
Single and looking for love: right hand, point of the heart towards the fingertips.
In a relationship (dating): right hand, point of the heart towards the wrist (signifies that someone captured your heart).
Engaged: left ring finger, point of the heart towards the fingertips.
Married: left ring finger, point of the heart towards the wrist.
Sterling Silver Claddagh Ring.
