'To my knowledge there is no Cladagh ring song.'


The Old Claddagh Ring, sung by martin Vaughan with the Tulla Ceiliband perhaps?

I know there are things in the thread to say how to wear it in certain circumstances but I cant see anything about which finger n which way round to wear it cause my mum got me it. I am autistic and don't understand a lot of what is written here about it so could someone please explain to me a bit more clearly... Thank you.

To tell the gods' honest truth, I've never heard any of this stuff about there being different coded meanings to how to wear the Claddagh ring, and suspect they're a makey-uppy by jewellers trying to make sales. I'd instinctively wear it with the point of the heart pointing to my heart, and assume this is how I've unconsciously seen it all my life in Ireland… but maybe my mind is equally making this up. For curiosity, I googled a few Irish actors wearing Claddagh rings, and this seems to be the way they all wear it all right.

Oh, and the Romans - no, Ireland was never part of the Roman Empire, though we traded with Rome in a small way; the remains of a trading post were found in Loughshinny in north Dublin and there have, I think, been other recent finds.
