The Meaning of the Irish Claddagh Symbol

The Irish Claddaugh symbol is widely used in jewelry of all kinds such as necklaces, pendants, earrings, finger rings, charms and pendants.

The Irish Claddaugh symbol is rich with symbolism. Traditionally it has three components to the symbol: Crown, Heart and Hands. The Crown represents Loyalty, the Heart represents Love and the Hands represent Friendship.

Notice the spelling of the Claddagh. It is commonly spelled in two ways: Claddaugh or Claddagh.

The Claddagh has extra meaning when worn as a ring. If the heart is pointing away from you your heart is free. If the heart is pointing towards you then it means your heart is free. Because of this nice tradition the Claddaugh ring makes for an excellent irish wedding ring or promise ring.

We have a very large select of Claddagh jewelry in the eBay store of Troy38s. In five different categories we have an impressive selection of sterling silver Claddagh jewelry. Irish Claddaugh Jewelry
