This adorable ring, crafted in the 1990s, is an excellent example of traditional Irish jewelry design. The Claddagh is steeped in history and is most commonly worn as an engagement or wedding ring. Made from sterling silver, it would make a great gift for someone you love!
The Claddagh ring originated in the 17th century in the small Irish fishing village of Claddagh. It is a famous modern symbol of Irish identity, and the design is credited to Richard Joyce. The hands represent friendship, the heart represents love, and the crown represents loyalty. This creates the perfect symbol to be used in friendship, engagement, and wedding rings for centuries.
The ring is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The surface of the silver has fine lines and marks, but nothing noticeable or obvious. The band is stamped 925 for sterling silver.
The ring is a size 8 and can be sized. The ring is 1/2" wide and weighs 4.02 grams. The box is for display only.
