Claddagh:
"WITH THESE HANDS I GIVE YOU MY HEART AND I CROWN IT WITH MY LOVE." People wear the claddagh ring all over the world as a symbol of love, loyalty, and friendship. When it is worn on the right hand, with crown and heart facing out, the ring tells that the wearer’s heart has yet to be won. While in a relationship it is worn with heart and crown facing inwards. Wearing the ring on the left hand, with the crown and heart facing out, signifies that your heart has been won. The hands are there for friendship, the heart is there for love. For loyalty throughout the year, the crown is raised above.
