Gold Emerald And Diamond Claddagh Ring from Ireland

The Timeless Epic Romance of the Claddagh True Love Story 

Nothing captures the essence of wild Irish romance more than the epic true story of Richard Joyce and the Claddagh ring of love, loyalty, and friendship. In 1675, the young Irishman set out to make his fortune overseas but was instead taken into captivity when Barbary pirates intercepted his vessel en route to the British West Indies. He was purchased by a Turkish goldsmith who apprenticed his talented new acquisition into his trade. Joyce spent the next 14 years perfecting the craft but refused to give up his dream of one day returning to Ireland.

In 1689, Richard’s opportunity came, and he refused his former master's offer of his only daughter's hand in marriage and a dowry fortune if he would stay with them in Algiers.  In Ireland once more, he won the heart of his childhood sweetheart and future wife with the impossibly romantic ring that he created. 

Richard chose the crown as a symbol of their steadfast loyalty, the hands, their friendship, and the heart, their unbreakable love that overcame every obstacle and brought them together once more.
