The Claddagh (Gold) Coaster

The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). Often given in ring form, the Claddagh may be used for friendship, relationship, eternity, engagement, or weddings depending on the intention of wearer and, in the case of a gift, of the giver.
