THE CLADDAGH RING, THE SYMBOL OF SYMBOLISM
THE CLADDAGH RING, A RING WITH A MESSAGE
When you are collecting jewelry, of course there are a lot of different types to be interested in. Next to all of the trends, there are always some kinds of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and so on that are the must have pieces for a respectable collection. These are often the pieces that have a deeper meaning rather than being another piece of jewelry. They often represent some kind of symbolism which matches up with a special occasion or a personal feeling or it can be the most beautiful piece in a designer’s collection. One of the most well-known must have pieces is the Claddagh Ring.
The Claddagh Ring is a very special ring which is often used as the ultimate symbol of love, friendship and/or loyalty. Knowing its symbolism the Claddagh Ring is the perfect gift for best friends and of course it would do well as a wedding ring. The design of the Claddagh Ring is a heart which is held by two hands and on the top of the heart a little crown gives it kind of a royal glow. The ring is available in all kinds of different materials such as silver, gold, platinum and titanium.
The story of the Claddagh ring tells of an Irish young man who, was on his way to the Irish Caribbean Island Montserrat when he was kidnapped by pirates and sold to a Moorish goldsmith. During his stay at the Moorish goldsmith he learned how to become a very good craftsman. Back in Ireland a very worried lady was waiting for him to come home and when he finally did he got on one knee and proposed to her while he was holding the ring. They got married and never parted again. He explained to his new wife that the hands of the ring was a symbol of their everlasting friendship, the heart on the ring was a symbol of their eternal love for each other and the crown was a symbol of their undying fidelity and loyalty to each other. The ring therefore captures three very important vows all in one piece. Although the story goes back all the way into the 17th century, it seems the original design is even much older and was originally meant to be an original symbol for the Galway town of Claddagh in Ireland.
Other than using the Claddagh Ring to declare your love to someone close to you, the ring also tells if you are still available for your one true love. It’s the way you wear the ring that makes the difference. When you wear the ring on your right hand with the heart pointing at yourself, it means that you are spoken for and that you are romantically involved, but when the heart is pointing away from you, it means that you are available and are looking for your true love. Like cupid setting his arrows ready to shoot. When you wear the ring on your left hand with the heart pointing away from you it means that you are engaged and when the heart is pointing towards yourself it means that you are happily married.
The motion picture industry has always had an interest in the Claddagh Ring. It is to be found in a lot of movies where romance plays a big part. Next to the movie makers having an interest in the ring, the personal interest of a lot of stars goes out to the ring and often the stars are captured on camera wearing the ring. The has had its most exposure on the popular television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where it has been a plot device for several times.
When reading story behind the ring and the symbolism that comes with it, makes you realize that the Claddagh Ring is not just any kind of ordinary jewelry, but a very special and powerful must have piece for your collection. Doc. No:1206-LM-ULT5-dc11
