Keep it long, treasure it long.

Love and friendship at your fingertips

Accessories that you wear all the time can sometimes be a source of comfort. If it's a gift from a loved one, it can act as a talisman, and if you buy it for yourself, it can give you the strength to persevere through difficult situations. Either way, if you choose an accessory with a background and history, it will have even more support.

This Claddagh ring is a romantic ring that holds hope like a talisman. It is a traditional accessory that has been passed down in Ireland for a long time.

A Legend

The distinctive design of the Claddagh ring is a crown, a heart, and hands holding it. The heart represents love, the crown represents loyalty, and the hands represent friendship. In Ireland, where it was born, and North America, it is a popular ring that is exchanged as an engagement ring or a symbol of friendship. One version of the legend goes like this.

In 1675, an Irish sailor was captured by pirates while sailing and sold as a slave. He has a girlfriend, and he works every day thinking about her living far away in Ireland. After several years, he finally returns to his hometown, and when they reunite, he gives her a ring as a symbol of their eternal love. That ring is the Claddagh Ring. During the years he worked as a slave, he learned the skills of a goldsmith and made a ring for her. It means that he gives his heart to her and pledges his loyalty to the crown.

Genuine Claddagh Ring

It is a traditional craft that is trademarked by the Irish government, and if it is not made in Ireland, it cannot be called a Claddagh Ring. In particular, the Claddagh Ring from Thomas Dillon's, the oldest and most established company, is certified and certified by the Irish Mineral Assay Office, which is the equivalent of the Japanese Mint, and shows its long history and high value.

The reason for its high value is that each one is handmade by a craftsman. The proof is that the inside is engraved with "ORIGINAL" and "TD (Thomas Dillon)" which indicate that it is the oldest Claddagh ring. It is known to be loved by famous people such as Walt Disney, Grace Kelly, President Kennedy, and even world-famous designers, and is a ring that is loved not only by people who like fashion and vintage, but also by people who wish for dreams and hopes.

The Claddagh ring is recommended as a gift for someone special. It is a unisex design and was originally chosen as an engagement ring, making it the perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, and anniversaries. The silver material is excellent because it changes over time and can be polished to return to its beautiful state. It is an item that you can enjoy using for a long time as your own Claddagh ring.

Making the oldest traditional crafts

Thomas Dillon's is a long-established store that has been in business since 1750 in the town of Galway in the west of Ireland. The Claddagh ring, a traditional Irish craft, is said to have been named after its inventor, Richard Joyce, who was from the village of Claddagh.

Thomas Dillon's store is the oldest and has the longest history, and there is a museum at the back of the store. The brand spread around the world when it was worn by Princess Victoria, the first female heir to the Swedish throne, when she visited Ireland, and it is now a brand loved all over the world.
