The meaning of claddagh jewelry is what gives it its significance. Over the years there have been designs with minor variations, but the basic meaning and significance of the Irish claddagh has however been retained.
The hands holding the heart denote friendship and togetherness. The heart itself signifies love and the crown in the claddagh stands for loyalty. It is this meaning of the claddagh jewelry pieces that make them an ideal choice for all occassions, weddings, birthdays, engagement, mothers day and just about any other occasion. The deep and true meaning of the Irish claddagh rings has also put them into a group of rings referred to as the faith rings. In today's materialistic world where love, friendship and loyalty are becoming increasingly rarer by the day, the claddagh, with it's realistic and worthy meaning, makes an ideal gift to give and to receive.
