What is a Claddagh Ring?

If you are searching for the perfect religious goods for friends or family for the holidays, look no further than the beautiful sterling silver claddagh ring. This ring has a gorgeous green crystal heart and can be found online at the St. Jude Shop. The claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring that represents love, loyalty, and friendship. The crown on the ring is the symbol or loyalty. The heart is the symbol of love, and the hands represent friendship. While some claddagh rings are used as friendship symbols, they are more generally used as engagement or wedding rings. According to the Irish, the way in which you wear this ring states your relationship status.

Symbolization

The way that you wear your claddagh ring lets others know whether you are single or taken, and how serious that relationship is. The ring is used on the right hand for less serious relationships, and is used on the left hand for more serious relationships like an engagement or marriage. If the ring is being worn on the right hand with the heart pointing outward, it symbolizes that the wearer is single and could be looking for love. If the ring is worn on the right hand with the heart facing inward, it means that the wearer is in a relationship. If the ring is worn on the left hand with the heart pointing outward, the wearer is engaged. If the ring is worn on the left hand with the heart pointing inward, it means that the wearer is married.
