HEAVY GENTS CLADDAGH RING
Heavy shank, puffed or domed heart. Finely detailed hands.
It is extra heavy, making it look nicer on larger fingers or for if you prefer a less "delicate" looking ring. It measures approximately 5/8", or 15.9 mm, wide. This ring is made in Ireland and stamped at Dublin Castle, and comes in a ring box for gift giving.Legend has it that the Claddagh symbol was originated by Richard Joyce, a Galway seafarer kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa where he learned the art of a goldsmith. When he was released, nothing could keep him from his beloved Galway where he returned to become a master goldsmith and where he created the Claddagh ring. For centuries this was used as a wedding ring by the fisher folk of Claddagh village, which nestled outside the walls of Galway city in the west of Ireland. Claddagh rings are still worn as friendship, engagement or wedding rings depending on how they are worn. Friendship: if worn on the right hand with the heart facing outwards, the wearer is single and looking for love; the heart facing inwards means the wearer is in a relationship. Engagement: by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing outwards. Wedding: represented by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing inwards towards your heart.
