The listing, Celtic Irish Sterling Silver Claddagh Ring, Size 9, BNIB has ended.
This brand new Sterling silver Claddagh Ring (size 9) retails for $50 and its 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.
What a great way to celebrate all things Celtic--or your Irish heritage--than wearing this gorgeous ring! And if you prefer a size 7, just let me know and if you win this auction, I will send you the size 7 instead!
