Sterling silver bracelet 7.5 inches in length. A modern take on a much loved tradition. Claddagh is one of the oldest fishing villages in Ireland. Legend has it that at one time a young man from the village named Richard Joyce was abducted by Moorish pirates whilst out fishing. He was taken to Tunisia and there learnt the skills of a goldsmith. Upon receiving his freedom many years later he was offered a great wealth and the hand of a rich man's daughter, but instead chose to return to Claddagh where his true love awaited him. He married her and set up a goldsmith store, creating the Claddagh ring with its crown, to represent loyalty, hands, representing friendship, and a heart, for love. This item contains the original symbols but in a stylish and simplified design.

This bracelet is supplied in a presentation box and a brief history of the design is also included.
