Claddagh Ring
It is interesting to see how the Claddagh ring, one of the most respected jewels in history ended up being crafted in Thailand. The story of the claddagh ring is set in an ancient fishing village in Ireland, the village is named 'Claddagh'. A young Irish fisherman was captured on the high seas by pirates about four centuries ago. Those were days when slaves were bought and sold like commodities. The fisherman named Robert Joyce was sold to a wealthy goldsmith. Kaisilver is widely credited with crafting the best rendition of the centuries old, claddagh ring.

CLADDAGH RING STORY
Life as a slave was filled with hardships and sorry but, this was not what worried young Robert. He kept thinking of his beloved who lived in the same village. As time went by, depression and loneliness seemed to fill his life, he realized that he had to keep up his morale. Learning the trade from his master, Robert decided to make a ring for his beloved. This kept him busy and gave him hope of being free one day. Trying to translate his true feelings into the features of the ring, he came up with a ring that had some truly unique features.
A few years later, the young man was freed from slavery and rushed back to meet his beloved. Ring in hand, the man kept running on the streets until he spotted her. You can well imagine his joy when he learnt that she was faithfully waiting for him after all these years. He slid the ring on her finger, the couple were soon married and lived happily ever after. As years and decades went by, the story of the ring spread across the globe. The ring came to symbolize true love and sacrifice, it was named after the village and was therefore called the 'Claddagh Ring'.
As historians and experts understood the story behind the claddagh ring, it became apparent that the features depicted in the ring showcased Robert's true feelings for his beloved. The heart in the center is one of the universally understood motifs for love, the hands symbolized friendship and the crown showed his loyalty to her (his beloved). The claddagh ring is often referred to as the 'hands and heart ring' or the 'hands holding a heart ring', the Irish people group it together with a few other rings labelled as 'friendship rings'.
The first claddagh ring did not have the finest workmanship as Robert was still learning at the time but, the meaning of the jewel remains unmatched in history. Few jewelers across the world tried to improve on the original concept but, many of them experimented with the removal of certain features - such attempts failed miserably. In Thailand high end custom jewelry provider Kaisilver, worked in a different concept. The objective was to enhance the beauty and significance of the claddagh ring and still, retain the main features of the first ring made centuries ago.

Dear Ms. Seang, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am very excited and overwhelmed to receive my ring and earrings. The ring is EXACTLY the same as the one that was stolen and I never thought I could replace it exactly, even to the spinal effect of the stones. The result is the ring is perfectly the same and the earrings match so well, just like the ones I lost. I do thank you so much. Your service and products have been excellent, and I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone. Reading the comments of other people you must be very pleased with the pleasure you give to your customers, when they receive your products. Please use me for publicity if you wish.

I received my Claddagh ring and band last week and I want to thank you so much for all your assistance. The Claddagh ring is absolutely gorgeous – it’s more than I had hoped for. The peridot stone and diamonds are very brilliant and perfect in every way. Both the Claddagh ring and the matching band fit perfectly and go so well together. I am truly thrilled to put this ring on every day. I have had many compliments on the ring, too. You do fantastic work! I love the beautiful, handmade card that you sent with the ring. It was such a nice, personal touch. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for an absolutely beautiful job. I am proud to show this ring off, and will be excited to add the wedding band to it in October. Thank you so much for everything! I wish you all the best. J With heartfelt thanks, Meri Linn. Kind regards
