The Claddagh ring (Irish: fáinne Chladaigh) is a traditional Irish
ring given 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 Claddagh, located just outside the old city walls of Galway, now part of Galway City. The ring, as currently known, was first produced in the 17th century.
