The History of the Claddagh Like most traditional symbols, the origin of the Claddagh (pronounced "clah-dah") has been obscured by the passage of time. It is almost certainly from the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, near Galway. Many stories say that a Claddagh ring was found on the hand of a sailor of a Spanish galleon that went down near the Irish coast. The Meaning of the Claddagh Every element of the Claddagh symbol holds a special meaning. The heart represents the promise of true love, the hands symbolize friendship, and the crown at the top stands for loyalty. Taken as a whole, the Claddagh symbol speaks clearly of love as enduring as the rocky shores of Ireland itself. More Than a Token of Romantic Love Although the Claddagh is best known as a symbol of romantic love, it is frequently given by parents to their children - a wearable piece of history, offering a tangible connection to a rich cultural heritage. It may also be given as a gift between lifelong friends. Could this Claddagh ring be the symbol of your story, a token of love, friendship, and loyalty in your life?
