The Claddagh’s design in this gold ring echoes the words of the Irish sailor who first created it for his sweetheart “With these hands I give you my heart, and I crown it with my love”. Its symbols represent love (heart), friendship (hands) and loyalty (crown). This fourteen karat gold and diamond piece is also embellished with three emeralds to evoke the Emerald Isle. This gold and diamond Claddagh ring has been Irish hallmarked in Dublin Castle.
