Claddagh Heart

The famous Irish Claddagh.
Originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the old walls of the city of Galway. 
The ring was first produced in the 17th century during the reign of Queen Mary II, though elements of the design are much older. The design consists of two clasped hands holding a crowned heart, and symbolizes love, friendship and loyalty.

A heart, to embroider with a romantic Celtic Claddagh and "Love of my heart" or "beloved" in Irish Gealic,, (felt works really well) decorate with hot fix crystals, bells and beads. I used fishing line to sew with, strong and nearly invisible! Sew a bunch, then decorate while you watch your favorite TV show!  It is 4" wide and including the dangling beads, it is 6" long.  It has both top or side openings, which ever you prefer. A great little handmade gift! A 5x7 hoop is needed.
