The heart represents love, the hands symbolize friendship, and the crown embodies loyalty—all unified within a circle that stands for eternity. This iconic emblem originated in the small fishing village of Claddagh in Galway over 400 years ago, where it served as a mark of identity among local fishermen. Legend tells of a king's devotion so profound that his hands were placed around his heart as an eternal testament to love. As Irish families emigrated during the Great Famine of 1847–1849, the Claddagh ring traveled across the Atlantic, becoming a cherished token between friends and lovers. Many families passed these rings down through generations, transforming them into treasured heirlooms and meaningful wedding bands. This wood carving captures that timeless tradition, making it a beautiful way to honor Irish ancestry and the enduring values of love, friendship, and loyalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions - 10\" x 14\" x 2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blue Frog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42422634446928,"sku":"210000020481","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0237\/5886\/4464\/files\/CM-29-2-Oval-Claddagh.jpg?v=1780457547","url":"https:\/\/ciarasirishshop.com\/products\/oval-claddagh-wood-carving","provider":"Ciara's Irish Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
