The listing, Claddagh Ring (size 8) has ended.
The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring given as a token of love or worn as a wedding ring.
The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown).
Claddagh rings may be used as friendship or relationship rings depending on the intention of wearer and, in the case of a gift, of the giver. There are three traditionally accepted ways of wearing the ring which may signal someone's relationship status:
1. When worn on the right ring finger with the heart pointing to the fingertip, the wearer is free of any attachment.
2. On the same finger with the ring turned around, it suggests someone is romantically involved.
3. When the ring is on the left hand wedding ring finger it means the person is married or engaged.
This ring was given to me as a gift from my friend's parents in high school. (They had bought two, and let her choose and gave me the the one left over.)
It was expensive. I believe it reads .925
BEAUTIFUL. I just can't wear it anymore. It's too big.
