      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 is symbolic of loyalty.  It represents
         the reward of love, the highest achievement
         the human spirit has yet accomplished.

      To give the Claddagh is to forge the hands of
         love, friendship, and loyalty forever.
