What does a Claddagh ring mean?
The Claddagh ring takes its name from the fishing village of Claddagh in Galway, Ireland, where the design is believed to have originated in the 17th century. The heart represents love, the hands represent friendship, and the crown represents loyalty — together forming a symbol traditionally given between friends, family or romantic partners rather than reserved for any one occasion.
How to wear a Claddagh ring
The way a Claddagh ring is worn traditionally signals relationship status. Worn on the right hand with the heart facing outward (away from the body), it shows the wearer is single and open to love. Worn on the right hand with the heart facing inward (toward the body), it shows the wearer is in a relationship. Worn on the left hand with the heart facing inward, it traditionally signals engagement or marriage. These customs are optional rather than fixed rules, and many people today wear a Claddagh ring simply as a piece of Irish heritage jewellery.

Our collection includes classic plain gold Claddagh rings alongside diamond-set designs, so there’s a style whether you’re after a traditional, understated piece or something with added sparkle for a special gift.
