The charismatic culture of Ireland abounds with folklore, and nearly every village, town, and hillside has a story. The ancient fishing village, the Claddagh, located outside the walls of Galway is famous for the Claddagh ring. The design of the Claddagh ring always depicts two hands holding a heart that is topped by a crown, and the meaning of the Claddagh ring has adopted the motto of the Claddagh village that is to let love and friendship reign.

The way in which you wear your Claddagh ring has great significance. When the Claddagh ring is worn on your right hand with the heart facing out, the Claddagh ring advertises that your heart is free. You are looking for love so to speak. Then if the Claddagh ring is still on your right hand but the heart of the Claddagh ring has been turned to point at your knuckles, your heart is no longer available. In this position, your Claddagh ring shows that you at least have a crush on someone. The third meaningful way to wear your Claddagh ring is on your left hand. This means that your love has been declared, even to the point of proposing marriage. So be careful where you wear your Claddagh ring. You do not want your Claddagh ring to say that you are engaged when you are asking someone out for a date!
