About the Claddagh Symbol
Legend has it that the Claddagh symbol was created by a Galway seafarer kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery. While separated from his home and the woman he intended to marry, he learned the trade of a goldsmith and forged a ring as a symbol of his love for her. Upon his release, he presented her with the ring and they were married.
The elements of this symbol correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown).
According to tradition, if a Claddagh ring is worn on the right hand with the heart facing outwards, the wearer is single and looking for love; the heart facing inwards means the wearer is in a relationship. Wearing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing outwards makes it an engagement ring. Placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing inwards towards your heart represents a wedding ring.
How to Care for this Claddagh ring
With quality jewelry, make sure each piece is stored separately. Store in a dry, clean place in a divided jewelry box or individual boxes. It is good to bring in your fine jewelry to a professional jeweler for cleaning once a year. Jewelry can be cleaned by hand using a liquid jewelry cleaner, found in jewelry stores, or gentle soap and water. Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, as that will harm and dull most fine materials.
Keep your sterling silver jewelry bright and shiny by wearing it! The natural oils of your skin help keep it clean, and regular use will actually keep it healthier than sitting in the jewelry box! Make sure you remove this ring before showering. Soap will build up on gold, giving it a filmy appearance.
Parts of the hallmark stamp:
- The sponsor, or creator, mark
- The standard mark, which designates the percentage of fine metal in an item
- Traditional fineness mark
- Assay Office mark, where the item was examined. This Assay Office mark is a woman with a harp, designating that it comes from the Dublin Office.
- A date letter, which stands for the year of stamping
All of our fine jewelry is hallmark stamped
Hallmark stamping assures quality of materials
All sterling silver or gold pieces of jewelry from Biddy Murphy have been hallmark stamped at the Assay Office in Dublin Castle in Dublin, Ireland.
The purpose of hallmarking is to assure the buyer that the ring is made as advertised. Assay Offices exist for the express purpose of verifying quality.
Biddy Murphy was certified by the Federation of Jewelry Manufacturers of Ireland in 2008 after our CEO took an accreditation class. We are proud to sell genuine fine jewelry.
- Hallmark stamp is tiny and often requires a magnifying glass to find!
- Stamp is located on the inside of ring bands and bracelets or on the back of pendants and earrings.
