History Of The Claddagh
Robert Joyce And The Tradition Of Irish Claddagh Rings
The ancient 300 year history of the claddagh ring makes it one of the most meaningful jewels in history. Kaisilver creates the best rendition of the Irish claddagh ring in gold or sterling silver with gemstones of your choice. Every ring is created by some of the world's finest craftsmen and hand finished to perfection.
The history of the claddagh ring takes us back in time to around 300 years. The most popular Irish folklore claims that the first Claddagh ring was made by an Irish fisherman (turned slave) named Robert Joyce. Around 300 years ago there lived a fisherman in a small fishing village in Ireland. The fisherman was Robert Joyce and the village was called the Claddagh. The boat in which Robert was travelling was raided by pirates and he was sold as a slave to a rich goldsmith by his captors.
Robert Joyce worked for his master and learnt the trade during his tenure as a slave. Despite the hardships and a tough life he never forgot his beloved who lived far away in the Claddagh village. He spent the little spare time that he had in creating a ring for his beloved, this ring was soon to become the now world famous Claddagh ring. As we trace the history of the Claddagh ring, it would be obvious that we need to understand the significance and meaning of the Irish claddagh ring as well. Robert Joyce was released from slavery a few years later and returned to the Claddagh village. He presented the ring that he had made during his tenure as a slave, to his beloved. This ring came to be known as, the now legendary Irish Claddagh ring.
My ring just arrived and it is truly awesome. It was well worth the wait. I could not have gotten the quality for this price here. The stone is indeed impressive and the ring fit is just right. I was very apprehensive about ordering an item of this price from a company overseas, but you did not disappoint me. Thanks again for your emails and for my ring. I would recommend your company to anyone. Mr.Joe Simmons, VA, U.S.A. Click Here To Read More Feedback From Our Buyers
