Let's get back to the silver claddagh ring, the options, prices and general information that relates to the metal. If you have taken the time to read the Claddagh Ring Story, you will learn that this is a jewel with tremendous meaning. Let's briefly talk about the features of this historic jewel and how they give the ring it's significance and meaning. As you can see from the CR-007 Carnelian Claddagh Ring, the jewel is designed with a crown on the heart and two hands holding the heart. This is no ordinary heart ring, it is a jewel first made about 4 centuries ago by an Irish fisherman who was sold as a slave. The young man tried to gain metal strength by making a ring for his beloved from whom he was separated. And the features of the ring symbolized his true love for her - the heart denoted love, the hands signified togetherness and the crown showed his loyalty for her. The jewel is today regarded as one of the most meaningful jewels in history. So the significance of this jewel lies in it's features and not in the metal or gemstone used to make it.
When you talk about jewelry with deep meaning and tradition, the price tag on the jewel does not have a bearing on it's significance. What this means is that, a silver claddagh ring or a gold ring would have the same level of meaning. Since the claddagh ring is a historic jewel, it is bound to draw a lot of attention when worn. Claddagh365 provides fine workmanship and handpicked gems for each gold or 925 silver claddagh ring - a jewel that you will be proud to wear and own.

You can thus rest assured that your sterling claddagh ring will have all the features of the first ring made around 4 centuries ago.

To begin with, we need to explain that the meaning of the ring and it's significance related to love, loyalty and friendship, is something universal. So the ring itself need not be reserved for a specific gender, age group, nationality or religion. Men can therefore wear this historic ring and be proud that they did so. What the design experts at Claddagh365 have done is to define a larger format claddagh ring with more weight and generally larger gemstone for men. Though these men's rings are available in gold or 925 silver, it is the men's silver claddagh ring that has gained popularity. The MCR-001 Men's Garnet Cladagh Ring is a good example of how, style, comfort and durability can be incorporated into a single jewel. Since most men do not look after their jewels and other accessories very well, we have developed the features of the men's gold or 925 silver claddagh ring to be strong and durable, this begins with a healthy metal weight of at least 15 - 20 grams.
