Our Scottish Claddagh is a special redesign of the tradition claddagh without using the British Imperial crown. Da'oud replaced it with a medieval crown which is Scottish in design. Note that the hands are more detailed and the design has umph! It is 13mm wide where the crown meets the heart and is a comfortable 3.5mm along the band.

If you prefer the traditional version of the claddagh, see Traditional Claddagh Ring (WB-76).

This unique design symbolizes Love in the form of the heart, the hands of friendship cradling it, and the crown of fidelity (The crown was added much later by Queen Victoria to mean loyalty to one’s love… and most probably the British Imperial crown) Legend has it that a young man named Richard Joyce was captured just prior to his wedding, sold into slavery by pirates, and wound up in the Algeria and learned goldsmithing. He fashioned this design for his beloved. When he finally returned to Ireland, he gave this ring to his betrothed. Wear this on your right hand with the heart turned outwards and you are demonstrating to the world that your heart is not yet won. Worn on the left hand with heart turned inwards, it means two loves joined in matrimony. This finger has a vein that goes directly to the heart. Enjoy this unique design, and may you add more color to it's meaning by your own appreciation, personal symbolism and further adventures!
