Product Description:
This simple Claddagh ring is heavier and thicker than a standard Claddagh ring. It is more 3-Dimensional as the heart is "puffed" out further from the ring. It measures approximately 1/2", or 12.7 mm, from the Base of the heart to the top of the crown. The heavy duty construction compliments larger fingers, but still looks nice on the average hand. Standard Size 13.5 is between a UK/Aust. Size Z1 and Z2. This ring is made in Ireland and stamped at Dublin Castle.Legend has it that the Claddagh symbol was originated by Richard Joyce, a Galway seafarer kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa where he learned the art of a goldsmith. When he was released, nothing could keep him from his beloved Galway where he returned to become a master goldsmith and where he created the Claddagh ring. For centuries this was used as a wedding ring by the fisher folk of Claddagh village, which nestled outside the walls of Galway city in the west of Ireland. Claddagh rings are still worn as friendship, engagement or wedding rings depending on how they are worn.
Friendship: if worn on the right hand with the heart facing outwards, the wearer is single and looking for love; the heart facing inwards means the wearer is in a relationship.
Engagement: by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing outwards.
Wedding: represented by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing inwards towards your heart.

Customer Reviews:
I love this ring By Fred III
I was looking for a lifelong men's silver Claddagh ring and I made the right choice. It is really well made, sharp detail, it's solid but not too heavy. It is comfortable to wear and the metal hasn't tarnished. It cost more than some of the other rings but it's an heirloom quality piece of jewelry so it's worth it. I am totally satisfied with this ring.
