Claddagh Jewelry

The Claddagh Ring has its roots in a type of finger ring called Fede or faith ring. Since Roman times these consisted of clasped hands and often worked as a pair of two intertwined rings with a hand on each that would slide together. Worn as a sign of devotion to a spouse or beloved, this widespread European jewellery tradition evolved a peculiar variation in the West of Ireland that has come to be known as the Claddagh Ring. The hands clasp a heart in the manner of presentation with a crown over the heart. By tradition, a Claddagh Ring is passed from mother to her eldest daughter. Beyond rings, our Claddagh jewelry collection includes necklaces, pendants, crosses, earrings, and bracelets, with custom birthstone settings and engraving available on select designs.
