Before we tell you more about the claddagh ring, let us say a few things about jade the gem featured in the claddagh rings shown on this web page. The term jade covers two stones jadeite and nephrite, both stones are tough and durable because of their internal structures. The name 'jade' is derived from the old belief that the gemstone could relieve kidney related ailments. The word jade originated from the Portuguese phrase 'piedra de ilharga' meaning 'stone of the loins'. The Spanish name for jade is 'piedra de ijade' and in French it is 'piedra de l'ejade'. The Chinese have believed since ancient times and until today that, jade ensures a long life and prosperity. 

The interesting thing about jade is that it is found in a variety of colors, white, green, yellow, red and brown. In ancient times, green was the only jade that people heard of those were the days when minerals and crystals were identified merely by color - some interesting mistakes followed! Knowledgeable gems and jewelry enthusiasts today seek gems with an interesting theme or background and jade, in colors other than green are drawing appreciation.

Both gold and sterling silver claddagh rings are provided with fine craftsmanship and custom cut jade gems. The rings are custom made in all sizes and there is no limitation on gem selection. 

Let us now talk a bit about the meaning and significance of the claddagh jade ring. The claddagh ring is named after a small fishing village (named Claddagh) in Ireland, the time was four centuries ago and the village is now a well developed town. A humble fisherman named Robert Joyce who lived in this village with his beloved, was one day captured on the seas by pirates and sold as a slave. Robert was sold to a wealthy goldsmith and started learning the trade from his master. While the physical hardships of slavery was something that he could shrug away, the thought of being separated from his beloved mentally tore him apart. He decided to make a ring for his beloved and wished that the jewel, would portray his true feelings for her. Years later when he was freed from slavery, the young man rushed back to his village and presented the ring to his beloved. The lady was waiting all these years from him and rushed into his arms, the couple were soon married and set up family in the village of Claddagh. The world came to know about the story behind the ring and gradually interpreted the features in the jewel. The ring is often referred to as the 'heart, hands and crown' ring or the 'hands clasping the heart ring'. The meaning and significance of the jewel is captured in the three features, the hands denote togetherness always, the crown showed his loyalty to her and the heart signified true love. The jewel is often referred to as the friendship, loyalty and love ring.
