This is a pretty basic claddagh ring I make in both .925 sterling silver & antique bronze, which has lead to many other designs. With the top being 1.2cm wide, this is perfect for men and women. The ring can be easily made in the size you need! I can also make it in gold upon request, so please don't hesitate to ask for a quote.
The Claddagh ring (Irish: fáinne Chladaigh) is a traditional Irish ring given which represents love, loyalty, and friendship (the hands represent friendship; the heart represents love; and the crown represents loyalty). The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the old city walls of Galway, now part of Galway City. The ring, as currently known, was first produced in the 17th century.
In Ireland, the United States, and other places, the Claddagh is handed down mother-to-eldest daughter or grandmother-to-granddaughter. According to Irish author Colin Murphy, the way in which a Claddagh ring was worn with the intention of conveying the wearer's relationship status: On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips, the wearer is single and may be looking for love. (This is most commonly the case when a young woman has first received the ring from a relative, unless she is already engaged. On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist, the wearer is in a relationship. (This suggests that the wearer's heart has been "captured".) On the left hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips, the wearer is engaged. On the left hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist, the wearer is married.
Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.
Bronze is an alloy that consists of a mixture of approximately 90% copper and 10% tin. Producing bronze is a less toxic process than producing brass as brass is a combination of copper and zinc, and the manufacturing process often produces zinc oxide which is toxic.
Because bronze contains copper, it can turn your skin green whether you have an allergy or not. Bronze and copper turn your skin green because when the copper reacts with your sweat and the acids from your skin, it produces copper chloride. Copper chloride is a green substance that then rubs off on your skin. If you are prone to sweating, your bronze jewelry will definitely turn your skin green. This chemical reaction can also be prevented by painting any part of the jewelry that comes in contact with your skin with clear nail polish or clear acrylic enamel.

Loved it! Exactly as seen in photo. Arrived in time.
Turning my finger green. That's my own fault. I painted it with clear nail polish to avoid that continuing, but will probably purchase a different ring elsewhere to replace. I do enjoy the look of it, so will definitely keep to wear occasionally
UPDATE: contacted by store owner, explaining the green is detailed in the description. I did previously see this, which is why I said it was my own fault. Appreciated her reaching out, will definitely consider buying from this store again.
Ring came quickly & looked just as beautiful as the pictures! I was very impressed and will definitely order from this shop again in the future:)
Quick communication and was so great! Workedwith me when I ordered the wrong size! I recommend this seller!
This ring is fantastic and shipped just in time for Christmas. I love it!
