Some jewellery is just pretty. The Claddagh ring? It hits different.
With its heart, hands, and crown design, the Claddagh is more than a ring. It’s a love letter to friendship, loyalty and real connection. A classic symbol, reimagined for now. And honestly? It’s having a bit of a moment.
Where it All Began...
This iconic piece comes from a little Irish fishing village called Claddagh (near Galway), dating back to the 1600s. The story goes that a man named Richard Joyce made the first Claddagh ring after being taken captive and trained as a goldsmith. When he finally made it home, he created the ring as a symbol of love that never broke, even with time and distance.
Romantic? Absolutely. But also… kind of badass.
What It Means
Let’s break it down:
- 🤝 Hands = Friendship
- đź’š Heart = Love
- đź‘‘ Crown = Loyalty
Together, they make a powerful little trio. Whether it’s a gift for your partner, your bestie, or just something meaningful for you, the Claddagh carries all the good stuff — with style.
How You Wear It (Yes, There's a Code)
There’s an old-school way of wearing it that’s honestly still kind of cool:
- Right hand, heart facing out: You’re single and vibing.
- Right hand, heart facing in: You’re taken (or maybe just not into small talk).
- Left hand, heart facing in: Engaged or married. AKA: off the market.
No rules, though. Wear it your way.
Styling It Now
The best part? The Claddagh plays well with others. Stack it up, mix it with chunky silver, or keep it simple and solo. It’s sentimental, but still you.
Traditional with a twist. Statement with soul.
