The Claddagh Ring Symbolizes All That Makes A Lasting Relationship
If you happen to be in an Irish jewelry shop and are captivated by a ring featuring a heart-shaped stone topped by a tiara and held on both its sides by two hands, you have reason to be beguiled because that piece of jewelry is what is called a Claddagh ring. This ring is a uniquely Irish symbol incorporating all the factors that make up an enduring relationship. The heart, of course, stands for love. The tiara or crown is a symbol for loyalty and the hands are a symbol for faithful friendship.
The ancient symbol for a strong bond, the clasped hands, was the basis for the Claddagh
Clasped hands have always been depicted in jewelry to symbolize lasting friendship and marriage. Quite naturally, the handshake has always stood for the warmth of feeling between two friends. In a similar manner, when couples pronounce their marriage vows, they do so with their hands clasped. The outstretched and bestowing hands of the Claddagh is a uniquely Irish variation on the traditional ‘hands’ theme. The Irish interpretation goes deeper into what makes lasting relationships; friendship, love and loyalty
Both genders may wear Claddagh rings
Claddagh rings are appropriate for both genders. You may buy them for your own self or as a gift to people with whom you have strong emotional bonds. They are most appropriate as wedding rings and a wedding is truly special where both bride and groom have Claddagh rings on their fingers.
There are different ways of wearing the Claddagh ring, each one with its own significance
Before you wear a Claddagh ring, you ought to know the appropriate way for you to do that, given you current status. In case you are still single and still uninvolved with anyone else, you should offer your heart to others by wearing the Claddagh ring on your right with the heart facing outward. If you are already in a relationship, the ring should still be worn on the right with the heart looking in your direction. Married and engaged persons should have the ring on their left hand and the heart should be facing in their direction.
As you can see, if you are not careful about the way you wear your Claddagh ring in an Irish crowd, you may be unknowingly soliciting romantic advances. Specifically, married and engaged people should always take note of how they wear their Claddagh rings in order to avoid issues that can affect their relationship.
Beautifully made original Claddagh rings are not expensive
You can find live stores as well as internet sites which sell expertly crafted and authentic Claddagh rings. These companies employ the best Irish jewel crafters to produce both silver and gold Claddagh rings for both men and women. You can choose silver rings that birthstone or silver hear-shaped center pieces. These hardly cost $100. For $300 you can get your ring crafted in 14 K gold, also with birthstone or gold center studs.
Now that Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away, consider giving your loved one a Claddagh ring with his or her birthstone embedded in it. Both silver and gold versions are made of the finest metals if you get them from authentic Irish jewelry outfits. But the money-value of the gift will matter less than the meaningfulness of this gift for Valentine's Day.
