Claddagh Ring Sterling Silver Wishbone Band Made in Ireland

This sterling silver Claddagh ring offers a delightful modern interpretation of the classic Irish symbol. The ring's band splits into two parallel tracks at the front, "kissing" to form the iconic Claddagh design. This symbolic gesture represents the ring's meaning of love, loyalty, and friendship - a sentiment often expressed through the gifting of a Claddagh ring to a romantic partner.

Crafted from sterling silver, this nickel and allergy-free ring measures approximately 0.25 inches wide, making it a versatile and comfortable fit for any hand. The ring is hallmark stamped at the Assay Office in Dublin Castle, Ireland, ensuring the quality of the materials and design. The hallmark features a 0.925 stamp denoting genuine sterling silver, the Solvar maker's mark, the Assay Office insignia, and a traditional fineness indicator.

Delivered in a delightful green Biddy Murphy gift box, this Claddagh ring makes for an easy and meaningful present for a loved one. Solvar, the family-owned company that created this piece, has been a leader in Irish jewelry since the 1940s, blending innovation with a deep respect for heritage and culture.

To care for this heirloom-quality ring, it is recommended to store it separately from other jewelry, in a dry and clean location. Professional cleaning by a jeweler once a year, or hand-cleaning using a gentle soap and water solution, will help maintain the ring's brilliant shine. The natural oils from regular wear will also help keep the sterling silver vibrant.

The Claddagh symbol itself has a rich history, with a legendary origin story involving a Galway seafarer who, while separated from his beloved, learned the goldsmith's craft and forged a ring as a symbol of his love. The three elements of the design - the heart, hands, and crown - represent love, friendship, and loyalty, respectively.

Biddy Murphy, an Irish gift company based in the United States, is proud to offer this authentic Claddagh ring crafted by the renowned Solvar brand. Biddy Murphy's CEO travels to Ireland regularly to hand-select the finest Irish products, ensuring quality and cultural integrity. The company's certification by the Federation of Jewelry Manufacturers of Ireland underscores its commitment to genuine Irish craftsmanship.

Whether worn as a symbol of one's relationship status or as a cherished keepsake, this Claddagh ring from Solvar and Biddy Murphy is a timeless expression of the enduring Irish spirit.
