Claddagh Ring

First produced in the 17th century, the Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring given as a sign of love or worn as a wedding ring. The design and rituals associated with it originated in the fishing village of Claddagh, Ireland.

Meaning of the Symbols

The hands stand for friendship, the heart for love and the crown for loyalty.
"With this crown, I give my loyalty, With these hands, I offer my service, With this heart, I give you mine" is a popular saying used when giving the ring.

Ring Placement

The way that the Claddagh Ring is worn also has special meaning associated with it. Worn on the right hand with the heart facing outwards indicates the individual is available and seeking romance. Turned inward the heart points to the veins which lead to the heart showing that the wearer is in a relationship. When worn on the left hand facing outwards the individual is engaged and facing inwards indicates the wearer is married.

What is Moldavite?

Moldavite is the product of a meteor collision with Earth nearly 15 million years ago. The prevailing theory is that the meteorite impacted the Earth with enough mass and velocity it vaporized itself and the surrounding material almost instantly. Those vapors were ejected back up into the atmosphere where they solidified and rained back down as a solid. The strewn field can be found in what is now called the Moldau River Valley in the Czech Republic. These green gems are among the most rare minerals on earth. They have been prized by humans for thousands of years and are still given as gifts from royalty to royalty. In legend, it is believed Moldavite was the green stone in the Holy Grail and has the power to quicken one's spiritual evolution.

Metaphysical Properties

People not sensitive to the energies of stones often feel the energy of Moldavite. Many sense it as heat, tingling or a pulsing sensation in their hand. Others feel a rush of energy through their body, usually upwards out the top of their head. Moldavite's high vibrational energy is a powerful chakra opener, particularly at the heart and above. Sleeping with Moldavite activates the dream state and can precipitate lucid dreaming. Wearing it helps manifest positive life change.
