A traditional Claddagh Irish ring which represents love, loyalty, and friendship (the hands represent friendship, the heart represents love, and the crown represents loyalty.)
According to Irish author Colin Murphy, a Claddagh ring was worn with the intention of conveying the wearer’s relationship status:
– On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips: the wearer is single and might be looking for love.
– On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist: the wearer is in a relationship; someone “has captured their heart”
– On the left ring finger with the point of the heart toward the fingertips: the wearer is engaged.
– On the left ring finger with the point of the heart toward the wrist: the wearer is married.
