How can you declare love?
With a dozen red roses?
With a tray of expensive sweets?
Or with a symbol of undying devotion?
No one will disagree when someone says that love is the ultimate human necessity. Many go to extraordinary lengths to find, keep and preserve such a wonderful feeling.
The ancient Celtic people of Ireland were the first ones to use claddagh jewelry to symbolize and express undying love. The claddagh’s distinctive design which features two hands clasping a heart surmounted by a crown corresponds to the three qualities of love, friendship and loyalty.
Yet, its symbolism does not end on the form alone.
The way claddagh jewelry is worn also expresses a specific meaning about the wearer’s love life. People trying to find love must be observant because a claddagh jewelry (a ring or bracelet) worn on the right hand with the heart pointing outward means that the wearer is single and looking for a relationship. If the heart is worn pointing inward or towards the body, this means that the person is already in love to someone.
Claddagh jewelry on the left hand intends to convey a more serious relationship. The wearer is engaged and soon to be married when the heart is worn pointing outward. While if it points towards the body, it means that the wearer is bound by matrimony.
Full of mystery and prestige, claddagh jewelry invokes transcendent emotions, making us grateful for our capacity to love and be loved. That is why it is one of the best symbols for engagement and wedding rings, for it is believed that any relationship sealed by the claddagh is destined to last forever.
There is no greater feeling than finding the one, so why not represent your eternal passion with something that is also as everlasting?
