With dimensions of 1.93 inches in width and height, and a total weight of 21.95 grams, the Gold Plated Green Claddagh Brooch is a captivating expression of love. According to Irish legend, this iconic design emerged from a tale of a sailor who was captivated and sold into slavery, but never forgot his sweetheart back home. Upon his return to Galway, he crafted for her a Claddagh ring symbolizing his unconditional love with the phrase: "With these hands I give you my heart, and I crown it with my love".
