Shanore’s artists have crafted this platinum wedding band to fit flawlessly against its matching
Claddagh engagement ring (14L68). Both pieces showcase sparkling diamonds embedded in the curves of
their designs, as well as tiny orbs of platinum, all of which enhance the sumptuous quality of the
set. The intricate shapes of these rings guarantee their uniqueness.
A Bit of Wedding Band History
In Ireland, Claddagh rings are commonly used as engagement or wedding rings. The hands that
represent friendship, the crown that honors loyalty, and the heart that symbolizes love all become
partners in the ultimate emblem of commitment to a significant other. Sometimes the shape of an
engagement ring is so stunningly unconventional that a custom-designed wedding band is necessary to
create the effect of perfect unity between the two pieces of jewelry. Though for hundreds of years
the simple circle of yellow gold defined the traditional wedding band, these days, craftsmen can
model them in any style to suit the bride’s tastes.
Originality and Order in Love
This band was made for a woman who likes creativity and originality to pop from her persona, but
who also feels happiest when the elements of her life are snugly in place. She wants her Claddagh
engagement ring—and its tribute to the most important values in her relationship-to be the
showpiece on her finger. However, she still desires to follow the very recognizable practice of the
wedding band. In its customized contours, this band mirrors the beautifully atypical shape of her
Claddagh ring, and therefore, the beautifully atypical strength and complexity of her partnership
with her husband.
