A Pair Of Claddagh Wedding Rings
CUSTOM MADE IN GOLD OR SILVER WITH GEMSTONE OF YOUR CHOICE
It is interesting to observe that, the intention for getting a pair of wedding rings generally, seems to be satisfied with two plain or studded band rings. Fortunately the younger generation seems to have realized that, there is nothing very specific about a plain band ring that makes it suitable for a wedding ring. Our opinion is that, a simple band ring has a concept that is neither very feminine nor male oriented. And since you would expect a pair of wedding rings to have a similar design for the bride's and bridegroom's ring, plain band rings seem to be the easiest option.
But for the couple that wishes to stay off the beaten track, the choice of designs is much wider - this can also be more confusing. With Claddagh365 offering the 4 centuries old ancient claddagh ring for men and ladies, it is a great idea to pick a pair of claddagh wedding rings. We can custom make just about any wedding ring for you and can do this even, with your own design idea. The reason why we recommend the claddagh ring for this important occasion is that, the jewel perfectly symbolizes the occasion of a relationship - and this is all the more relevant for a wedding. Don't get turned off by the fact that the claddagh ring has a heart shape in the center, it is probably the only heart ring that will look perfectly in place on a man's or lady's finger. Understanding the significance of the claddagh ring is necessary and we will, make that effort to explain the jewel right here. Though you might have not heard of this jewel before, it is not a new trend or fashion but, a historic jewel that was first made 4 centuries ago. The ring originated in Ireland where a humble fisherman turned slave made the jewel for his beloved. The young man named Robert Joyce was one day captured by pirates on the sea and sold to a wealthy goldsmith. Those were the days when slavery was rampant and Robert was forced to work for his master. The physical stress of this tough life did not worry him but, it was the mental agony of being separated from his beloved that, broke his morale.
Robert Joyce tried to pull himself out of the mental depression by, telling himself that he would one day be reunited with her but, there seemed to be no reason to believe that this would ever happen. He then decided to make something for his beloved, something material that would give him better hope - he set out to make a ring for her. Being neither a professional designer nor a skilled artisan, the young man had one objective in mind. He wanted the ring to carry his true feelings for her, it was to be a messenger of his love. Years later when he was freed from slavery, he went back to his village and rushed to meet his beloved. You can well imagine his joy when he found that she was patiently waiting for him. He gave her the ring and the couple were soon married and set up family. The ring was named Claddagh, this happened to be the name of the village in which Robert and his beloved lived. The interesting features of this ring clearly proved how much he loved her, and as seen at the end of the story, his beloved reciprocated his feelings by waiting for him to return. As people started to hear about the ring and the story behind it, the meaning of the jewel became clearer. The ring symbolized love, loyalty and togetherness through the heart, crown and hands. It is this symbolism of the ring that makes us recommend a pair of claddagh wedding rings. You will agree that love, loyalty and togetherness are absolutely necessary for a relationship to work. And there is unlikely to be a more important relationship than that between a husband and wife.
