The Irish Claddagh Symbol is named for the Irish coastal town of Claddagh (pronounced clawd-ah), where the ring design is attributed to an ancient local legend. The now famous tale, about a townsman kidnapped into slavery, who returns to present a ring to his true love, is one of the most popular romantic tales of Ireland.
The rings consists of two hands holding between them, or presenting, a heart. Over the heart is a design representing a crown or fleur de lis. The hands in the design represent friendship, the heart, love, and the crown, loyalty.
Even to the present day the ring has associated with it special customs. For instance it is not right for a Claddagh person to buy a ring, they must obtain it as a gift.
Various traditions ascribe different meanings to the ring depending on how it is worn; as a wedding ring, it is worn on the left hand with the heart pointed inward.
As an engagement ring, it is worn on the right hand with the heart pointing inward; for friendship, it is worn on the right hand with the heart turned outward.
The phrase that usually accompanies the ring is let love and friendship reign.
The emerald gemstone is one of the most highly esteemed precious stones, known to ancient Egyptians, Hindus, Greeks, and Romans.
In India emeralds were used to adorn images in temples, and Muslims used emeralds as amulets, inscribed with verses from the Koran.
Emeralds were believed to change color when surrounded by deception and treachery. They were also believed to be preservatives against decay, dysentery, and the bites of venomous creatures and to promote easy childbirth.
In ancient Rome the emperor Nero was said to have had an unusually large emerald that he used for viewing gladiatorial contests. Presumably he was shortsighted and used it as a lens.
