Claddagh Icon Collection
|
|
| In 1690 Richard Joyce, who had been sold into slavery in Tunis, was liberated. He returned to his native fishing village in Galway and began practising the skills he learnt during his years as a slave. This gifted silversmith fashioned the first claddagh ring - bashing his design on Celtic legends of the old Connacht Kings.
Today two young designers*have taken a fresh look at the symbols that graced those ancient adornments. They have deconstructed the elements that go to make up the promises that lie within the symbols: seperated them into single, compelling entities - and, in so doing, have brought them to life again.
The Hands - denoting Friendship and all that real friendship entails - concern, warmth, understanding, regard.
The Heart, which represents Love - together with the secret language of the heart. Worn facing outward, the wearer is still searching for love: worn facing in and the person has already found it.
And finally the Crown which, just as it did in the time of the Kings of Connacht, stands for Loyalty - a loyalty that endures, just as friendship and love endure. |
