The Claddagh Ring Story

The name 'Claddagh' was the name of a small fishing village in County Galway, West Ireland where a man named Richard Joyce was kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa. Joyce was trained as a goldsmith and created the Claddagh as the symbol of his beloved village. Once released, Joyce (and the Claddagh) returned to Galway as a master goldsmith.

  As popular as ever, Claddagh rings are still worn as a symbol of friendship, engagement or wedding rings. Tradition says they are to be worn as follows:
  • Friendship - the ring is worn anywhere on the right hand.
  • Engagement - the ring is worn on third finger of your left hand with the tip of the heart pointing outwards.
  • Married - the ring is worn on the third finger of your left hand with the tip of the heart pointing towards your own heart.
