This fisherman was kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery, taken away from the woman he loved. He became a slave to a goldsmith and forced to work there. It was there that he created the first Claddagh as a symbol for his affection to his woman. In 1689 when the release of the slaves was ordered, he gained his freedom and used his creation as a wedding ring.A Romantic ExpressionCladdagh rings today are still a genuine symbol of affection and one of Ireland's signature motifs.
