Whether you are keeping your heart under lock and key for safe keeping or protection, you are bound to hear the echoes of love and legend from this Claddagh necklace. The key to the legendary tale, that inspired the Claddagh necklace designers, rests upon the enduring love of a sailor from a fishing village near Galway. Our Claddagh necklace whispers with the romance he had for his sweetheart, locked in his heart, while imprisoned far away against his will. The key to unlocking his heart, which our gold plated Claddagh necklace symbolizes, was to forge his lover a gift upon his return years later.

His token, as well as our Claddagh necklace, still represent his message: 'With these hands I give you my heart and I crown it with my love.' Free to love at last, they were united in marriage, which is why this Claddagh necklace makes a delightful gift for anyone you love. The Claddagh necklace has an 18 inch, link chain and a bale that lets the charm hang freely. If you hear your heart's call to experience all the love in life available to you, our Claddagh necklace is a powerful piece to mark your decision.
