CLADDAGH

The Claddagh is Ireland's best-known symbol of love, loyalty and friendship: the hands for friendship, the heart for love and the crown for loyalty. Legend says Richard Joyce, a Galway fisherman captured by pirates, learned goldsmithing in captivity and made the first Claddagh ring for the sweetheart who waited for his return.

Choose from Claddagh rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets and baby bangles in 9ct gold and sterling silver, including birthstone and Trinity knot designs. Every piece comes in our free Hanratty Jewellers gift packaging, with free delivery on orders over £100.
