Claddagh Rings!

They're all the rage. I just bought one, actually, while on vacation down at the shore in Rhode Island.


Going back to my Irish roots, the Claddagh ring symbolizes love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). They're sometimes given as friendship or relationship rings. 

Traditionally...
  • When the ring is worn on the right ring finger with the crown pointing towards the body, the wearer's heart is taken, meaning you're in a relationship.
  • When the ring is worn on the right ring finger with the crown pointing away from the body, the wearer's heart is open, meaning you're single.
  • When the ring is worn on the left ring finger, it means the wearer is married or engaged.
Going back to Problem #6, truly having your heart open is an optimistic way of being single. Don't be closed-minded. You never know where you'll meet the person you're meant to be with. <3

Now go buy a Claddagh ring!
