So cool! My partner and I each have a Claddagh ring made of our favorite metal and with each other's birthstone. His is rose gold with an Emerald, and mine silver with an Opal. I love that I can look down at my hand at any moment and feel him with me. These rings are truly special!

[@kacreadsalot]

Everyone is here like oh I have one because my partner gave me one or its a family tradition I just got one one because it’s a nice ring 😂 (I’m Irish btw)

[@lisagaudiosi7889]

I absolutely LOVE the Claddagh Ring, since the first time I saw one I have wanted one-preferably one from Ireland-I finally got my wish & bought one made in Ireland when I had passed by a shop in my area that dealt with imports from Ireland & Scotland, I am glad I had found that shop, sadly the owners retired a few years ago & closed their shop, I still have that Claddagh Ring & will always cherish it!

[@linad3896]

I absolutely love this channel. If I was in a teacher, I would use these videos in class.

[@AsariGreenfire11]

I have a Claddagh necklace + a ring that I got for myself. my Nain (welsh for grandmother) is Irish & there's a strong Irish connection there. My mother wears her Claddagh as a wedding band.

[@chantellelandon85]

i have been wearing claddaghs since i was very little. I always loved the symbolism of them and wore them more for that reason than the fact I am part Irish. (Although i am proud of my Irish side) I have just always been one who believed in soulmates and the like and thus the claddagh appealed to me because of it's symbolism.

[@Midnight3Wonder]

I don't usually wear rings, but the claddagh ring sounds pretty cool. Hmm, I wonder how an ace should wear the ring . . . ?

[@gypsymumma9015]

Love this

[@jamielake-boyd3600]

History is amazing!!!! Who wouldn't want to know it.

[@nak8490]

Now I understand that Connemara Marble is more than just Marble with Serpentine. I've heard that a type of Marble containing Serpentine is called, "Ophicalcite".

[@LullabiesofAlaura]

Lol I have one that was given to me on my 13th birthday by my aunt who always had hers on her hand. I loved it the moment I saw it always asking for one, ever since I was six and probably younger. I live in Canada but in an town with connections to Irish people who moved their during the potatoes Famine. This video I learned the meaning of the ring I have basically warn every day for 4 years now.

[@notka.t3940]

Finally someone covering this

[@omgtatercat]

I used to have one that, oddly enough, was also a poison carrying ring. :p I am quite the fan of Oscar Wilde, so it's always nice to hear him mentioned.

[@AnimalsGirlful]

This was unexpected to see, I am not too far from the area, you're saying claddagh wrong and Connemara kind of wrong though but I love you :'D

[@living-wellon-less5669]

Here is the proper way to wear a Claddagh ring, Single: Wear the ring on the right hand with the heart facing outward from your body, In a Relationship: Wear the ring on the right hand with the heart facing inwards, Engagement: Wear the ring on the left hand on the third finger with the heart pointing outwards, Wedding ring: Wear the ring on the left hand on the third finger with the heart pointing inwards! Erin go Bragh

[@rhysmcgreal8786]

Don't understand.. coaddah is love.

[@lauraclause7472]

Sorry to be so critical but her pronunciation is off and there are actually four ways to wear it.

[@queniaoliveira9322]

that brought me was horn , I never trust english/Irish man anymore :(

[@Nemiril]

claddagh rings are for engagement, or at least that s what they were used to be for. So unless you are planning to get engaged, no point. The other rings are masonic, nothing to do with claddagh

[@0.05tvgirlfan]

They were used for engagments but now they show a symbol of Irish decent to whoever may wear it. I have a claddagh but I am not engaged.

[@Nemiril]

i agree, i also said they were used... at least historically. they engraved initials and were used in clans. They can not, in my opinion, be compared in some way with the other on in the video. thats the way i meant it. I also am a fan, and make and wear and im not engaged... @@0.05tvgirlfan

[@TheWrensHouse]

Irish wear we do not refer to ourselves in terms of clans

[@carterwalker3555]

WAFFLES

[@bronwynecg]

Save the 5 minutes. The answer is no
