Find a Claddagh Ring

Claddagh Ring with Amethyst HeartCladdagh rings originated in 17th Century Ireland, but there are several legends about the inspiration for the original design -- some of its characteristics date farther back in time. Claddagh rings have become traditional Irish engagement and wedding rings, and when you go shopping you'll discover wide style variations. They do all have three things in common: hands (signifying friendship) that hold a heart (to represent love) with a crown (for loyalty) above it. The Claddagh rings in this assortment all differ, in their metals, in the materials used to create the heart and in their overall design.

Explore schools of watchmaking and preview some of the job opportunities available to trained craftspeople.
