In our 20 years of fine jewelry crafting experience, we have never recommended any other type of heart ring for men - this is the first one. As you can see from the MCR-001 image, this Mens Garnet Claddagh Ring depicts two hands holding a heart with a crown placed on the heart. The ring is sometimes referred to as a heart, crown and hands ring or the hands clasping the heart ring. The first claddagh ring was made four centuries ago by an Irish fisherman (named Robert Joyce) turned forcefully in a slave, the young man and his beloved lived in a tiny fishing village in Ireland called, Claddagh. This ring is backed by a tremendous history and a very touching story. The History Of The Claddagh tells us how, the young slave decided to make something (a ring) for his beloved, this was to show his love for her and also to give him some mental balance. Robert dreamed of being a free man one day and giving the ring to his beloved once he returned to his small village.
The meaning of the claddagh ring is such that, the jewel is suitable for ladies and men. Robert Joyce wished to communicate his true feelings for his beloved through the features in the ring. He showed his love for her through the heart in the center, the hands symbolized friendship and togetherness and the crown signified his loyalty to her. The story takes a touching turn when the young man was freed from slavery after a few years. He carried the ring that he had so carefully made and rushed back to his village. He was overjoyed to learn that, the feelings that he had expressed for his beloved through the features of the ring were wonderfully reciprocated by her too - the lady was patiently waiting for him after all those years. He gave her the ring and the couple were soon married and set up family together.
