Legend tells of a sailor from Claddagh in Galway, captured by pirates a week before he was to be married. He learned his goldsmith skills while enslaved and made a ring for his beloved. The heart symbolizing their love, hands for friendship and crown for loyalty.
As a wedding ring, it is worn on the left hand, with the heart pointed inward. As an engagement or promise ring, it is warn on the right hand, with the heart pointing inward; for friendship, it is worn on the right hand, heart turned outward.
