Claddagh Heart Love Symbol

The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring given as a token of friendship, love, or marriage.

The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown).

When worn on the right ring finger with the heart pointing to the fingertip, the wearer is free of any attachment.

When the ring is on the left hand wedding ring finger, it means the person is married or engaged.
