Yeah well actually the story of the Claddagh is that in Ireland in the olden day people couldn't afford more then one ring. So they came up with the claddagh. If you where it on your left hand with the heart pointing away from you it means you are single. If you were it with the heart facing towards you, you are with someone. Then if you wear it on the left hand with the heart pointing away you are engaged and if it's facing you, you are married. Or at least that's what I'm told.
