The Claddagh is a visual portrayal of the eternal bond of friendship, loyalty, and love.
The Heart symbolizes love, life's finest impulse. From it, generosity and compassion flow.
The Hands of friendship are clasped around the heart in a gesture of giving. As they cradle the heart gently, the hands are both protective and strong, like true friendship.
The Crown symbolizes loyalty. It represents the reward of love, the highest achievement the human spirit has yet accomplished.
To give the Claddagh is to forge forever the bonds of love, friendship, and loyalty.
This Valentine's day I present each of you, my dear readers, a virtual Claddagh ring.
Thank you for your love, friendship and loyalty.
May you be inspired - everyday!
