Antique Claddagh Ring in 9K Yellow Gold with Garnet, Year 1934

Add to Wishlist
This ring is one of the most well-known and sought-after rings, loved for its shape, its aesthetics but also and above all for its meaning; it is part of the Irish tradition and is called "Claddagh ring".
It features two hands holding a heart surmounted by a crown, all three elements with a strong symbolic value, representing respectively friendship, love and loyalty.
This type of jewel has its origins in an Irish village since the 600th century, and is part of a group of rings called "fede rings"; the name "fede" derives from the Italian phrase "mani in fede" (which more precisely means "hands joined in faith").
Wedding rings are a type of ring that date back to Roman times, when the gesture of clasped hands was a symbol of promise of marriage; in the medieval period and during the Renaissance they therefore became popular as engagement/wedding rings.
 
Today's example is made even more special by two factors, first of all its age, as it is an ancient ring, made in the year ; the elements that compose it are also different from what we are used to: if the arms with his hands are classic, the rest is less so: instead of the traditional stylized heart we find one with a different appearance, which could however also be a shield (perhaps an alternative image to represent the symbol of love, here understood as a desire for defense and protection?); finally the crown that surmounts it is also different from what we are used to, being thinner and finer. 
its setting, and therefore all the elements that compose it, are entirely in 9K yellow gold; the heart/shield is further decorated with a garnet, rosette cut and of a very intense red, in perfect contrast with the yellow of the gold.
