The Claddagh ring originates in a former fishing village near Galway City on the west coast of Ireland. Claddagh, derived from cladach, meaning "shore".
There are a few different stories explaining the creation of the Claddagh, but my favourite is of the fisherman Richard Joyce and the love of his life. Pirates captured Richard in the late 17th century, and in his servitude, he apprenticed under a goldsmith in Algiers. His talents became so remarkable that his captor offered him his daughter's hand in marriage and half his fortune. Instead, Richard devotedly chose release and returned to Ireland to marry his love. He designed her wedding band, now known as the Claddagh ring. Richard referenced the fede ring motif (from the Italian mani in fede, meaning "hands in faith"). ![]() Symbol of love, loyalty, friendship, and the Claddagh ring can be worn in different ways to signify the wearer's relationship status.
![]() But we wear jewellery with no rules, so if you're married to yourself, put that heart towards you!
Much love,
Hayley
