| History of Claddagh Ring Once upon a time, Richard Joyce of Galway who was about to be married was captured by the pirates and sold to a Moorish goldsmith who trained him in the craft. While enslaved he fashioned a ring with two hands holding a heart and crown. In1689 he was released from slavery by a grant from King William
III. His reputation was well known and the Moor offered him a position as the kings first alchemist if he would remain in Algiers, but Joyce said he must return to the land of his love. When he returned to the village of Claddagh he brought the ring with him and gave it to his betrothed who had remained faithful and was still waiting. The earliest Claddagh rings bear his mark and the initial letters of his name, RJ (Richard Joyce).
How to wear the Claddagh Ring:
Wear the ring on your right hand, the crown turned inwards and the ring will symbolize love, loyalty, friendship.
Wear the ring on your right hand, the crown turned outwards and the heart towards your heart if your heart is taken.
Wear the ring on your left hand, the crown turned outwards and the heart towards your heart if you're committed to each other.

| History of the Tartan Scottish and Irish dress in tartan kilts. They were originally worn by soldiers in battle and by pipers that led units into battle. Early kilts consisted of a large cloth draped and fastened with a belt. Today, ladies wear kilts in a variety of lengths or long skirts for dress wear. Matching shawls with large brooches complete the costume. Gents often wear tartan kilts for weddings and parades. Pipers wear their traditional clan tartan in a kilt or the tartan of the pipe band. Black Watch and Royal Stewart tartans can be worn for formal dress by everyone. See kilt designs: Kilts
IRISH COUNTY KILTS were designed in 1996 for anyone of Irish descent that wants to associate with their ancestral birthplace. The range includes the new Irish National Tartan.
