The Signature range from Boru is a unique, contemporary take on tradition. Modern design meets Irish heritage. A contemporary interpretation of a beloved Irish symbol married together with ancient Celtic knot work makes this ring very special. Legend has it that the Claddagh symbol was originated by Richard Joyce, a Galway seafarer kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa where he learned the art of a goldsmith. When he was released, nothing could keep him from his beloved Galway where he returned to become a master goldsmith and where he created the Claddagh ring. For centuries this was used as a wedding ring by the fisher folk of Claddagh village, which nestled outside the walls of Galway city in the west of Ireland. Claddagh rings are worn as friendship, engagement or wedding rings depending on how they are worn. Friendship: by placing the ring anywhere on your right hand. Engagement: by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing outwards. Wedding: by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing inwards towards your heart. This Claddagh ring design is simple, contemporary and up to date. All of our wedding rings are handcrafted in Ireland and assayed at Dublin Castle. They are available in a choice of precious metal finshes and as wedding ring sets. Weight: 4.8gms approx.
