The Claddagh is two hands holding a heart and the heart wears a crown. The Claddagh is popular around the world because of the story behind the first ever Claddagh ring. In brief an Irish man called Robert Joyce was sold to a Moorish goldsmith. This goldsmith taught him is trade and when the slaves were given freedom in 1689 Robert return to his home in Ireland where his sweetheart had waited for him. He presented her with a ring which depicted the hands of friendship, the love they shared and the loyalty they had to their love. It is this story which so many people want to share with their loved ones. The Spirals are usually found in single, doubles or triples. They have a pre-Christian meaning.

In Celtic jewelry rings there are three main elements you will find, either on their own, or more intricately combined together. Of course you can always choose your Celtic jewelry rings because you like the way they look. The Claddagh, as with many of the men’s Celtic rings, can either have the shape of the ring formed by the pattern or the patterns can be more delicately engraved into a plain band.
