Ladies Silver Weave Claddagh Ring

Ladies Silver Weave Claddagh Ring.

This elegant sterling silver ladies’ ring features the iconic Claddagh symbol evoking love, loyalty and friendship. The Claddagh represents love and devotion, and evokes the words of the Irish sailor who first crafted it for his sweetheart: “With these hands I give you my heart, and I crown it with my love”. This unique sterling silver ring features a weave band, and has been Irish hallmarked in Dublin Castle.

For centuries this item was used as a wedding ring by the fisher folk of Claddagh village, which nestled outside the walls of Galway City in the west of Ireland. Claddagh rings are still worn as friendship, engagement or wedding rings depending on how they are worn.

Friendship: if worn on the right hand with the heart facing outwards, the wearer is single and looking for love; the heart facing inwards means the wearer is in a relationship.

Engagement: by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing outwards.

Wedding: represented by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing inwards towards your heart.
