What is the origin of the Claddagh ring and design?
Claddagh Rings have been produced in Galway, Ireland continuously since at least 1700.

These bangles are Galway-inspired, carrying that same rich cultural heritage and making them a true Irish heirloom gift.

Irish Claddagh ring tradition:
Tradition holds that the way you wear a Claddagh ring conveys your relationship status:

• On the right hand with the heart pointing toward the fingertips: single and may be looking for love.
• On the right hand with the heart pointing toward the wrist: in a relationship.
• On the left ring finger with the heart pointing toward the fingertips: engaged.
• On the left ring finger with the heart pointing toward the wrist: married.

While baby bangles are for infants, this tradition connects them to the rich Irish heritage of the Claddagh design, making them a special cultural gift.
