March-Aquamarine Birthstone Claddagh Earring - Legend has it that the Claddagh symbol was originated by Richard Joyce, a Galway seafarer kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa where he learned the art of a goldsmith. When released, nothing could keep him from his beloved Galway where he returned to become a master goldsmith and created the Claddagh ring.
Claddagh rings can be friendship, engagement or wedding rings depending on how you wear them. Friendship: by placing the ring anywhere on your right hand. Engagement: by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing outwards. Wedding: by placing the ring on the third finger of your left hand with the heart pointing inwards towards your heart. The symbols of the Claddagh are the Heart, Crown and Hands for Love, Loyalty and Friendship.
March – Aquamarine – An astonishing blue colour, this stone takes its name from the Latin phrase for ‘seawater’. For centuries it was the lucky stone of sailors and legend has it that it was a prized possession of mermaids. It is also known as the stone of communication and courage, often given by lovers as a symbol of commitment and fidelity.
