The listing, .925 Sterling Silver Irish Claddagh Ring, Size 9 has ended.
This Sterling Silver Claddagh Ring (Size 9) is just in time for St. Patrick's Day! This gorgeous ring retails for $50 and would make a great gift over this important Irish-themed holiday.
The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, surmounted by a crown, which correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown).
In Ireland, America and other places, the Claddagh is handed down mother-to-daughter or grandmother-to-granddaughter.
The way a Claddagh ring was worn on the hand was usually intended to convey the wearer's relationship status:
On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips, the wearer is single and may be looking for love. (This is most commonly the case when a young woman has first received the ring from a relative, unless she is already engaged).
On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist, the wearer is in a relationship (suggesting their heart has been "captured").
On the left hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips, the wearer is engaged.
On the left hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist, the wearer is married.
