How to wear a claddagh ring the RIGHT way
- 1). For all the singles out there: to show your singularity with the claddagh ring, you must wear it on your RIGHT hand, with the crown, which symbolizes loyalty, facing inward, toward the heart, with the small heart facing away toward the end of your finger.
- 2). If you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, the ring should still be on the right hand, but reverse from the single position, with the heart facing inward toward your heart, and the crown facing away. This shows a connection between two hearts, effectively displaying the claimbetween you and your significant other.
- 3). If you're engaged, and are using a claddagh ring for the engagement ring, then the ring must be on your LEFT ring finger, in the single position, meaning the CROWN must be facing inward toward your heart.
- 4). For the lucky lovers who have finally said I do, here is the final step: wearing the ring on your left hand, with the heart facing inward. A romantic gesture for this is to have your spouse flip the engagement ring around during your wedding, and making vows based on the ring, for those of you who are big tradition buffs. Also, for a wedding band, an extra push for meaning in the ring might include making the ring from gold, showing purity for your love.
