Chic Traditional Irish Claddagh Ring in Sterling Silver
Product Information
The Claddagh
The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring which represents love, loyalty, and friendship (the hands represent friendship, the
heart represents love, and the crown represents loyalty). The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing
village of the same name in Galway. The ring, as currently known, was first produced in the 17th century. According to Irish author
Colin Murphy, a Claddagh ring was worn with the intention of conveying the wearer's relationship status: (1) On the right hand with
the point of the heart toward the fingertips: the wearer is single and may be looking for love. (2) On the right hand with the point of
the heart toward the wrist: the wearer is in a relationship. (3) On the left ring finger with the point of the heart toward the fingertips:
the wearer is engaged. (4) On the left ring finger with the point of the heart toward the wrist: the wearer is married. There are other
localized variations and oral traditions, involving the hand and the finger on which the Claddagh is worn. Folklore about the ring is
relatively recent, not ancient, with "very little native Irish writing about the ring", hence, the difficulty today in finding any source that
describes or explains the traditional ways of wearing the ring.

FAQ
Yes, we only work with solid metals, we don’t work with plated jewelry. We offer 10k solid gold and 14k solid gold.
Unlike plated gold, solid gold should not tarnish. Having said that, this doesn’t mean your jewelry will never tarnish. As long as you take care of your jewlry and avoid consistent exposure to harsh chemicals such as hairspray, perfume, chlorine etc. Your jewelry should not tarnish.
Most people are allergic to nickel when they wear jewelry. Our yellow and rose gold don’t contain any nickel while our white gold contains minimal amounts. If you feel like you have sensitive skin, we would recommend opting for 14k yellow gold. This way you are buying jewelry with high gold purity and it’s nickel-free.
For our silver jewelry, we only use 925 sterling silver which is nickel-free.
Absolutely, each of our jewelry pieces is stamped with its corresponding mark to assure authenticity and quality.
Pure silver is 99.9% silver, very soft and less durable, whereas our jewelry is made from sterling or 925 silver, a more durable alloy with 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals.
Rhodium plating is what makes good-looking silver and white gold jewelry look great. Used in the aerospace industry, rhodium plating gives silver and white gold a whiter and brighter look. It also helps with hardening the metal and prevents them from oxidizing when in contact with skin. So, rhodium plating is like a special magic that makes your jewelry look amazing and last a long time!
