Frequently Asked Questions About Irish Wedding Rings
What is a traditional Irish wedding ring?
The most popular traditional Celtic wedding ring is the Claddagh ring with its message of love, loyalty and friendship.
What is the story behind the Claddagh ring?
The first tale involves a certain Richard Joyce. He set sail from Galway for the West Indies only to be captured by Algerian pirates and sold into slavery to a Moorish goldsmith. Joyce toiled away for fourteen-years under the tutelage of his master. During this time he was to become an expert craftsman.
He was set free in 1689 after William III of England demanded the release of British subjects. The goldsmith was sorry to see Joyce leave so he offered his daughter and half of his riches to induce Joyce to stay. Joyce refused.
Returning home to Galway, Joyce was overjoyed to find that his one true love was still waiting for him. He created the Claddagh ring to honour his everlasting love and presented it to her as a marriage ring. Joyce went on to live a healthy and happy life in Galway and became a successful goldsmith.
