The Legend of the Claddagh:
Richard Joyce, captured by pirates the week he was to have been married, is believed to have made the original Claddagh ring, so he would never forget the girl he loved. The Claddagh symbolizes love (heart), friendship (hands), and loyalty (crown). In the seventeenth century the symbol was displayed on a ring which was exchanged between friends or lovers. The heart was to symbolize love, the hands personified friendship or faith, and the crown signified loyalty or fidelity.
When worn on the right hand with the heart facing out, the heart is still searching for love. When worn on the right hand with the heart facing in, he or she may have found their love. Placing the ring on the left hand with the heart facing in indicates they are happily married with love, friendship, and fidelity.
Today, a gift with a claddagh symbol is given to show affection, respect, love and loyalty.
The original Claddagh ring is generally attributed to Richard Joyce, of Galway. Joyce departed from Claddagh, a small fishing village in Ireland where the waters of the River Corrib meet Galway Bay, on a ship enroute to the plantations of the West Indies. That week he was to was to be married, but his ship was captured by Mediterranean Algerian pirates and the crew were sold as a slaves; Rihcard Joyce was sold to a Moorish goldsmith who trained him in his craft. He soon became a master in his trade and hand crafted a ring for the woman at home he could not forget. In 1689 he was released after William III came to the throne of England and concluded an agreement whereby all his subjects who where held in captivity by the Moors were to be allowed return to their homes. The Moorish goldsmith offered Robert Joyce him his only daughter in marriage and half his wealth if he would remain in Algiers. He declined and returned to Claddagh to find that the woman of his heart had never married. He gave her the ring and they were married and he set up a goldsmith shop in the town of Claddagh. (The Claddagh is said to be the oldest fishing village in Ireland). The earliest Claddagh rings to be traced bear his mark and the initial letters of his name, RI (Richard Joyce).
