after a beauiful find from the 18th .Century, this ring is the typical irish love ring with heart and crown, sapphire and aquamarines.
There are many legends about the origins of the ring, particularly concerning Richard Joyce, a silversmith from Galway circa 1700, who is said to have invented the Claddagh design as we know it. Legend has it that Joyce was captured and enslaved by Algerian Corsairs around 1675 while on a passage to the West Indies; he was sold into slavery to a Moorish goldsmith who taught him the craft. King William III sent an ambassador to Algeria to demand the release of any and all British subjects who were enslaved in that country, which at the time would have included Richard Joyce. After fourteen years, Joyce was released and returned to Galway and brought along with him the ring he had fashioned while in captivity: what we ve come to know as the Claddagh. He gave the ring to his sweetheart, married, and became a goldsmith with considerable success. Ring in Sterling silver 925 with heartshaped Aquamarine, crowned by three white Zircones.
