Claddagh Rings The Claddagh Ring is named after its birthplace, the tiny fishing village of Claddagh just outside the ancient walls of Galway city. The Claddagh Ring was first made by Richard Joyce, a member of an ancient Galway family who was abducted by Algerian Corsicans while on a sea voyage and sold as a slave to the Moors. It was during this period that Joyce was taught to work as a goldsmith. In 1689 he was released as part of a general amnesty agreed by William III of England and the Moors. Joyce returned to Galway where he set up as a goldsmith. It was here on the shore or "Claddagh" of Galway Bay that the first Claddagh Ring was created. Claddagh Rings make a perfect St Patrick's Day gift. ORDER BY PHONE ON: 01294 469241 (Overseas +44 1294 469241) from 9.00AM to 10PM
