History:

The  Irish Claddagh ring has one of the most memorable stories in jewelry behind its creation. The Claddagh ring was first made by an Irish prisoner of war. He had been captured by the Turks and apprenticed to a Turkish jeweler where he learned jewelry making as a way to pay for his imprisonment, and later to buy his freedom. Once free, he returned to his home in the the ancient fishing village on Galway Bay in the west of Ireland. Once home, he presented his true love with the first Claddagh ring. He had made and designed the ring while still a captive in Turkey. The Claddagh ring has since evolved into a universal symbol of love and friendship.
