The vivid green-blue stone sits within the traditional Claddagh motif, with two hands clasping the heart beneath a detailed crown. The hands continue gracefully into the shoulders of the ring, which are finished with decorative fan-like engraved details, while the slim 3mm band gives the piece a comfortable, wearable proportion. Hallmarked for Birmingham in 1991, with the maker’s mark GJ and 375 fineness mark, it is in excellent condition and has a lovely presence on the hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Claddagh is one of Ireland’s most recognisable jewellery designs, traditionally associated with love, friendship and loyalty. This example brings a particularly attractive twist to the familiar motif with its richly coloured chrysoprase heart, whose turquoise-green tone contrasts beautifully with the warm yellow gold. A delightful piece of Irish-inspired jewellery with both character and symbolism, it is a UK size N½ \/ US 7 and weighs 2g.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFun fact: The Claddagh design is thought to have emerged in Galway around 1700, and the oldest known example is attributed to Galway goldsmith Richard Joyce. The motif itself is related to the much older European \u003cem\u003efede\u003c\/em\u003e ring tradition, in which two clasped hands symbolised faith, loyalty or a bond between two people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore specs below:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• 9ct yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e• the chrysoprase heart measures 5x6mm\u003cbr\u003e• the band width is 3mm at the narrowest point\u003cbr\u003e• the ring weighs 2g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the ring is in excellent condition and wears very comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: UK N½ \/ US 7.75\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill arrive in a little white box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI post all my UK orders via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
