Crafted in 9 carat yellow gold, this whimsical Irish Claddagh vintage ring features two hands embracing a heart adorned with a crown, symbolising the purity of a beloved relationship, love, and loyalty. We have named this darling piece The Kelly Ring. She is the perfect ring to show others where your heart lies. She is wearable, according to tradition, in four different ways, each with a different meaning:
Worn on the right hand, heart facing out... your heart is open.
Worn on the right hand, heart facing in... your heart is not available.
Worn on the left hand, heart facing in... your heart belongs to your spouse.
Worn on the left hand, heart facing out... you are engaged.
