CLADDAGH
The Claddagh ring originates from Ireland and is considered a friendship, engagement or wedding ring. It consists of two hands holding a heart surmounted by a crown. The heart is the symbol of love, the hands symbolize friendship and trust, and the crown is a symbol of loyalty. Bringing it to the right hand and facing the bearer hints at a love affair, turning it backwards signals the search for a partner. Bringing it instead to the left hand with the heart towards the bearer acts as a wedding ring. The ring is passed down to subsequent generations from mother to daughter.
