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.

What is the Irish claddagh?
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). The expression which was associated with these symbols in the giving of the ring was: "With my two hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my love." Yet, the expression, "Let love and friendship reign forever" can be found as another meaning for the symbols. The way that a Claddagh ring is worn on the hand is usually intended to convey the wearer's romantic availability, or lack thereof. The ring is worn on the right hand with the heart facing outward to show that the wearer is not romantically linked but is looking for love. When turned inwards, it is shown that the wearer is in a relationship, or their heart has been "captured". Noting that the heart is pointing down the hand and into the veins which lead to the wearer's heart. The ring worn on the left hand with the heart facing outward shows the wearer is engaged; turned inward indicates the wearer is married.

The claddaugh is turned inward on the right hand if you are no longer available or if ''someone has captured your heart.''.
Is it correct for a boyfriend to give a girlfriend a Claddagh ring?
a boyfriend can absolutely give a girlfriend a Claddagh ring. on the right hand when worn, heart facing out.. means the wearers heart is available - single ... heart facing in the heart of the wearer is taken.. on the left hand.. facing in.. married. if out.. i have no idea.. the metal, platinum, for a girlfriend? in my book.. rather pricey,, sterling silver would be just as nice and probably alittle more practical for the ol' budget.. really it depends on what she likes. i wear silver now.. but hint around to the old man for a platinum one for engagement/wedding. Probably but I've never heard of it before. If they did they'd probably be laughed at though.
