Description-This traditional Irish Claddagh Jewellery Gift Set is made from sterling silver. This Sterling Silver and Marcasite Claddagh Gift includes a pendent, earrings and bracelet and comes beautifully presented in an elegant gift box.
The romantic history of the mystical and beautiful Claddagh began way back over 500 years ago in the ancient fishing village of Claddagh just outside the walls of the City of Galway on the west coast of Ireland.
The Claddagh signifies that love and friendship should reign supreme. The hands signify friendship, the crown loyalty, and the heart love.
Traditionally handed down from mother to daughter, Claddagh is worn extensively across Ireland either with the heart turned outwards showing that the wearer is "fancy free" or with the heart turned inwards to denote that he or she is "spoken for." The pride of place is on the left hand, with the heart turned in, indicating that the wearer is happily married and the love and friendship will last forever, the two never separated.
