The Story of the Claddagh Ring

The Claddagh ring symbolizes the motto “let love and friendship reign.” Two hands, representing faith, hold a heart. The crown above the heart symbolizes honor.

Single women wear the Claddagh Ring on their right hand, with the heart pointing outward toward the end of her finger. When a woman is engaged, she turns the ring around so that the heart faces inward. When she is married, the Claddagh ring is worn on the left hand.
