Handcrafted in India A beautiful sterling silver ring adapted from the Claddagh - a traditional 17th century Irish ring which represents love, loyalty, and friendship (the hands represent friendship, the heart represents love, and the crown represents loyalty). The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the old city walls of Galway. Accented with a natural garnet gemstone. Made in a Fair Trade cooperative in India.
