Linda Clifford Scottish & Irish Merchant

The early history of the Claddagh goes back over 400 years to a small fishing village 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 around the world.

A Claddagh ring, worn 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 betrothed. The hands represent friendship as one's partner in life is also one's best friend.

These matching wedding bands feature the traditional Claddagh with six diamonds set in the cuffs and classic rounded Celtic Knots on either side. The full design is shown in the photos. The backs of the rings are smooth.
