The Claddagh in this gold pendant symbolises love and devotion, and evokes the words of the Irish sailor who first crafted it for his sweetheart: “With these hands I give you my heart, and I crown it with my love”. Its symbols are said to represent love (heart), friendship (hands) and loyalty (crown). This ten karat gold pendant is therefore a timeless piece. This gold Claddagh piece has been Irish hallmarked in Dublin Castle.
