Well ...here they are! I really like this set! The His and Her wedding bands with the symbolic Claddagh (pronounced "klada") and the Eternity Knots to link the cuffs with. The matching diamond engagement ring with the Eternity Knots on the sides makes a lovely set. These are made in Ireland and can only be purchased on their website on http://www.shanore.com/ ...It comes in 2 different mm widths I would want the wider width and not the thinner one suggested for a bride. I like a wider band actually.
I don't think think these rings come in 1/2 sizes. I can "push" a size 7 on and it would be fine once it got past my joint...but we could get the rings sized to a perfect fit. Imagine the diamond in the engagement ring replaced with a rich deep colored well cut certified, real emerald not the lighter green wanna be emeralds...ooohhh...pretty...of course diamonds are always nice too... with the right clarity and cut. Oh the decisions!!! Let's pick one!! Very selfish want! (blushing)
How do I wear a Claddagh Ring ?
Simple, as follows,
Worn on the RIGHT HAND with the heart FACING AWAY from one's heart, will tell the world that the wearers heart has yet to be won.
While under the magic of love the ring is worn with the heart FACING INWARD, towards one's heart.
Wearing the ring on the LEFT HAND with the heart FACING INWARD, towards one's heart, signifies that two loves have become one and have joined forever.
The CROWN is for LOYALTY, as a man promises to be loyal for life to his betrothed.
The HANDS represent FRIENDSHIP as one's partner in life is also one's best friend.
The HEART represents an undying LOVE for Eternity (many claddagh wedding rings are accompanied by the Eternity Knot)
You must NEVER buy your own Claddagh as it is VERY BAD LUCK. It must be given to you ,because the giver wish true Irish Luck upon you with all it's
symbolic reminders for a happy life, and the magical power it holds to the wearer.
And now you have been educated on the wearing of the Claddagh...
May the Luck of the Irish be upon you and the Leprechauns be your friends...or else!!
