Two hands cradling a crowned heart, cast in solid Irish gold and signed by Solvar — the Dublin house that has been making these since long before anyone called them a trend.
The Claddagh is one of the oldest love symbols still worn today, born in a fishing village outside Galway more than three centuries ago. The hands are friendship, the heart is love, the crown is loyalty — and how you wear it says everything: point out, and your heart is open; point in, and it's spoken for. No jewelry says more with less.
This one is substantial — 6.8 grams of gold, a real weight on the hand — and signed by the maker that defines the form. Worn well, a Claddagh gets handed down; that's the whole point. It was made to be given, and to keep being given.
One of one. Size 11.75, and it can be resized.
