Tin Claddagh Brooch

This brooch features the Irish symbol of love and friendship, the Claddagh. The origins of this design traditionally worn as a ring is surrounded by legends. It is associated with Claddagh, a fishermen's village in County Galway, West Ireland, where a member of the Joyce clan would have created the Claddagh ring - a heart symbolising love nestled in the hands of friendship and crowned by a oath of fidelity - as a present for his love.

The Claddagh refers to universal feelings and is worn everywhere on the planet as a sign of love or friendship.
