The Claddagh [klah’-duh] is an Irish promise ring that dates back over 100 years. There are many legends associated with it but all agree that it has three lucky meanings: faith, friendship and love represented by the crown, hands and heart.
“I crown my heart with faith, to give to you my love, in friendship.”
Custom made claddaghs can be made with combinations of 2 colours of gold – or even 3 – and look absolutely stunning. The hands and crown must be one colour, but the shank and the heart can be other colours. Each is available in 3 sizes and hand-finished at our London Ontario studio.
