No. The Claddagh ring is unique to Irish culture.

-Wrong... Sorry Irish the Claddagh ring, although altered, is actually a version of the traditional ITALIAN ring called the "Mani in Fede". This ring was given by the Italians to girlfriends, fiances, wives, and valued friends to express deep feelings. The ring is of two hands clasped together and is worn on the third finger of the left hand. This is because, traditionally, italians believed there was a nerve on the third finger of the left hand that led directly into the heart. The Irish, Scottish, and other European countries adopted the traditional ring and have been using it, with their own designs and traditions, for centuries.
