Story of the Claddagh

The early history of the Claddagh goes back over 400 years to a small fishing village nestled on the shores of Galway Bay.

Here the Claddagh became a token of love, loyalty and friendship when a seafaring Spanish goldsmith fell in love with a girl from the Claddagh village and crafted the first Claddagh ring for her. Since that time the Claddagh has become a symbol of love throughout the world.

A Claddagh with the heart facing towards one's heart is seen as a proclamation of love and the heart facing away from one's heart is a sign of being uncommitted.

The crown is for loyalty, as a man promises to be loyal for life to his bethrothed. The hands represent friendship as one's partner in life is also ones best friend.

We hope you enjoy this beautiful Claddagh piece and invite you to browse our many other Claddagh themed products.

Gold

Gold is a highly sought after precious metal. It is a chemical element with the symbol AU. Since recorded history began, gold has been used for centuries as money, as a store of value, in jewelry, in sculpture and ornamentation.

Gold is dense, soft, shiny and the most ductile pure metal known.

Trinity Knot

Although the origins of the Trinity Knot can be traced back to pagan times it later was used in ancient Celtic Art and religious manuscripts such as the Book of Kells.

In modern times it has become synonymous to Christians as the symbol of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son & Holy Spirit)

Along with the Claddagh it is a hugely popular design in modern Irish Jewellery.
