You wear it following the same rules as a Claddagh ring.

Although I am from a strong Irish family, I choose to wear my bracelet on the left hand because it is solid gold and since I am right handed, it hinders my weighting sometimes.

Where is the claddagh ring from?
The Claddagh ring originated from a small Irish fishing village called 'Claddagh'.Claddagh is near Galway City and is now near the city center of Galway. The reason it is from this area is because long ago an Irish fisherman named Robert Joyce left his home of Galway to go to distant ports and sailed to the West Indies. He was captured by pirates and sold him into slavery. He was forced to work in a goldsmiths shop and while there he created the first ring as a symbol of his love for his Irish lady left at home. He finally gained his freedom in 1689 when King William III ordered all slaves freed. He returned to his love in Ireland and gave her the claddagh ring.
