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 ring are still worn as friendship, engagement or wedding rings depending on how they are worn… Friendship: by placing the ring anywhere on your right hand. 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.
Research has found no true meaning of Love, Loyalty or Eternity in the Celtic Knot. Perhaps it shows the complexity of the human spirit. The artists however make no apology in drawing inspiration and interpreting the amazing works of art to enhance their seamless wedding rings with a never ending Celtic Knot. The never ending knot work symbolizes the love and never ending commitment given in the sacred blessing of the marriage vows.
