Okay, so today I wanna talk about this Claddagh ring I got and how I’ve been figuring out how to wear it. I’m not a jewelry expert, but I did a little digging around and messed with it myself to get the hang of it.
First off, I noticed there’s a right way and a wrong way to put it on, depending on whether you’re single, dating, or engaged. This whole thing is tied to your relationship status, which I thought was pretty neat.
So, I started by trying it on my right hand. I’m not seeing anyone right now, so I wore it with the pointy end of the heart facing out, away from me. That’s supposed to show you’re single and available.
- Right hand, heart facing out: This means you’re single.
Then I tried flipping it around so the heart was facing inward, toward me. Apparently, that means you’re dating someone.
- Right hand, heart facing in: This means you’re dating.
Next, I moved the ring over to my left hand. I put it on with the heart facing outward. This is the way you’re supposed to wear it when you’re engaged.
- Left hand, heart facing out: This means you’re engaged.
The Big Takeaway
It’s like a little code you wear on your finger! Heart out on your right hand means you’re single, heart in means you’re dating. Then, when you get engaged, you switch it to your left hand, but keep the heart facing out. I practiced switching it around a few times just to get the feel for it.
It’s a cool tradition, and now I feel like I can wear my Claddagh ring the “right” way. I just played around with it until it made sense. Hopefully, this helps someone else figure it out too!
