Homonym: claddagh (Ring)
The claddagh is a traditional Irish symbol representing love, loyalty, and friendship. It features two hands holding a heart, topped with a crown. This design originated in the fishing village of Claddagh near Galway, Ireland, and has been used in jewelry, particularly rings, since the 17th century.
Claddagh rings are often given as gifts to express deep emotional connections. The way the ring is worn can indicate relationship status: on the right hand with the heart facing out signifies being single, while wearing it on the left hand with the heart facing in indicates a committed relationship.
