Claddagh Ring
Here’s a ring with a magnificent story behind it. If you want to symbolize your reunion love, this might be the perfect ring regardless of the price.
The Claddagh story. A short history of the Claddagh ring. Long ago a young man was captured and sold into slavery from the fishing village of Claddagh. Many years passed and he wondered if his true love would wait for him. Over the years he stole tiny bits of gold from his master to make her a ring. He fashioned a heart for love, a crown for loyalty and hands as a symbol of friendship. After many years he finally returned home to Claddagh. Upon his return and to his joy he discovered his true love had waited for him. He gave her the ring as a symbol of their love, loyalty and friendship forever known now as the Claddagh. Do you have someone in your life to which you pledge your love, loyalty and friendship forever?
And also note:
In Ireland it is traditional for mothers to hand down claddagh rings to their daughters.
