What does Claddagh mean? Storytelling from Galway Ireland
Welcome to my new storytelling series “Moving Stories”:
In the 17th century the fisherman Richard Joyce from Claddagh in Galway was captured at sea by pirates and sold into slavery in Algeria shortly before he wanted to marry his Margaret.
He became the property of a rich goldsmith who trained him in his crafts. With thoughts of the girl Richard left behind he fashioned the 1st Claddagh Ring formed with a heart (represents Love), a crown (represents Loyalty) and two hands (Friendship).
Watch the whole Galway story and tell if you ever been to Galway or Ireland.

The Claddagh ring (Irish: fáinne Chladaigh) is a traditional Irish ring which represents love, loyalty, and friendship (the hands represent friendship, the heart represents love, and the crown represents loyalty)
The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing village of the same name in Galway. The ring, as currently known, was first produced in the 17th century.[3]
Fede rings are distinctive in that the bezel is cut or cast to form two clasped hands that symbolize faith and trust[6] or plighted troth.[7] The Claddagh ring is a variation on the fede ring,[8] while the hands, heart, and crown motif was used in England in the early 18th century.[9]
Towards the end of the 20th century there was an explosion of interest in the Claddagh Ring,[citation needed] both as jewelry and as an icon of Irish identity. In recent years it has been embellished with interlace designs and combined with other Celtic and Irish symbols, but this is a very recent phenomenon that corresponds with the worldwide expansion in popularity of the Claddagh ring as an emblem of Irish identity.[10]
Galway has produced Claddagh rings continuously since at least 1700,[3] but the name Claddagh ring was not used before the 1830s.[5][11][12] Although there are various myths and legends around the origin of the Claddagh ring, it is almost certain that it originated in or close to the small fishing village of Claddagh in Galway.
The Victorian antiquarian Sir William Jones described the Claddagh,[2] and gives Chambers' Book of Days[18] as the source, in his book Finger Ring Lore. Jones says:
The clasped hands [style ring]... are... still the fashion, and in constant use in [the]... community [of] Claddugh [sic] at [County] Galway.... [They] rarely [intermarry] with others than their own people.
The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart and usually surmounted by a crown. These elements symbolize the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). A Fenian Claddagh ring, without a crown, is a slightly different take on the design but has not achieved the level of popularity of the crowned version. Claddagh rings are relatively popular among the Irish[15] and those of Irish heritage, such as Irish Americans,[21] as cultural symbols and as friendship, engagement and wedding rings.[22]
While Claddagh rings are sometimes used as friendship rings, they are most commonly used as engagement and wedding rings. Mothers sometimes give these rings to their daughters when they come of age. There are several mottos and wishes associated with the ring, such as: Let love and friendship reign.[23] In Ireland, the United States, Canada, and other parts of the Irish diaspora, the Claddagh is sometimes handed down mother-to-eldest daughter or grandmother-to-granddaughter
According to Irish author Colin Murphy, a Claddagh ring was worn with the intention of conveying the wearer's relationship status:
On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips: the wearer is single and may be looking for love.
On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist: the wearer is in a relationship.
On the left ring finger with the point of the heart toward the fingertips: the wearer is engaged.
On the left ring finger with the point of the heart toward the wrist: the wearer is married.[22]
There are other localised variations and oral traditions, involving the hand and the finger on which the Claddagh is worn. Folklore about the ring is relatively recent, not ancient, with very little native Irish writing about the ring, hence, the difficulty today in finding any source that describes or explains the traditional ways of wearing the ring.
