Heartshape Sapphire Diamond Claddagh Ring In White Gold Hands

About This Piece

Ireland’s Greatest Love Story in Blue Sapphire and White Gold

The tradition of the Claddagh love story has inspired Irish brides-to-be and their suitors for more than three hundred years. In 1675, Richard Joyce left the small town of his birth on the shores of Galway Bay to seek his fortune in the British West Indies. Not long into his voyage, the ship was boarded by Barbary pirates and he, along with all passengers and crew, were sold into slavery on the African north coast. His new master apprenticed him as a goldsmith and jewelry maker and during 14 long years, Richard honed his skills as a craftsman while always dreaming of returning home to his childhood sweetheart. 

In 1689, Richard’s dream came true, and upon regaining his freedom, he immediately set sail for his beloved Ireland and the girl he left behind. He created the first Claddagh ring for the love of his life and future wife, choosing the heart to represent their love, the crown, the loyalty that triumphed against all odds, and the hands, the friendship that would hold them together forever.
