Claddagh Rings
A claddagh ring says three things at once: the hands are friendship, the heart is love and the crown is loyalty. That is why it is given at engagements, at twenty firsts and when someone leaves home, and why it is handed down rather than replaced. The rings here are made in 9ct and 18ct gold, mostly yellow with a few in white and rose, and run from plain polished bands to designs set with emerald, sapphire or cubic zirconia in the heart. Prices start around three hundred euro and most sit between four and eight hundred. Which way you wear it matters too: heart turned outwards means your own heart is free, turned inwards means it is taken. The wider Irish range sits in our celtic jewellery.

Claddagh Rings FAQs
The three parts carry the meaning: the hands stand for friendship, the heart for love and the crown for loyalty. The design comes from the fishing village of Claddagh in Galway and has been made in Ireland for more than three hundred years.
On the right hand with the heart pointing outwards, the wearer is single. Turned inwards, their heart is taken. Worn on the left hand with the heart inwards, it marks engagement or marriage. There is no wrong way, only what you want it to say.
Yes, and it is a common choice in Ireland. Stone set versions with emerald, sapphire or cubic zirconia in the heart read as engagement rings, while plain bands suit couples who want something quieter.
In most cases yes. Our own workshop handles resizing, and because the design sits around the whole band it needs a jeweller who works with the pattern rather than cutting through it.
