The claddagh ring, or fáinne Chladaigh in Gaelic, is traditionally worn by both men and women as engagement or wedding rings. They are also commonly exchanged as tokens of friendship. The way a claddagh ring is worn is also symbolic. When worn on the right hand heart pointing out toward the end of the finger, it represents a heart searching for love. When worn on the right hand with the heart pointing toward the wearer, it symbolizes love that has been found. Worn on the left hand an outward facing heart can be used as an engagement symbol. When pointed inward on the left hand, it indicates the wearer is married. This 14 karat yellow gold celtic braid version is perfect for friends or lovers alike.
