There are a number of stories about the history of the Claddagh, and one common legend tells the tale of how the Claddagh ring originated in a small fishing village in Ireland in the late 17^th Century. An Irishman named Richard Joyce is said to have left his sweetheart to set sail to the West Indies to make his fortune, but before he reached his destination, a band of pirates captured his ship and he was sold as a slave.

Joyce’s master was a Moorish goldsmith, and during his many years of service, Joyce learned his master’s craft. He earned his master’s respect and was even offered his daughter’s hand in marriage; however, Joyce refused, knowing that his beloved awaited him in Ireland.

When King William III negotiated the freedom of the slaves, Joyce returned to his homeland and found that his sweetheart had waited for him for the many long years he had been gone. He crafted the first Claddagh ring for his true love, integrating three symbols: two hands to represent friendship, a crown to represent loyalty and a heart to create a picture of love. The two were married, and Joyce presented his creation to his bride as a wedding band.

Claddagh wedding bands give a nod to the original meaning of the Claddaggh, and they’re wonderful ways to celebrate the friendship, love and loyalty of a married relationship. The Celtic Claddagh Wedding Band Ring in 14K Two-Tone Gold frames a 14K yellow gold Claddagh with shining 14K white gold edges, adding a pop of contrast that makes this motif stand out. If you prefer, this ring is also available in several other two-tone and single-metal variations.

While rings are the most common way to wear the Claddagh, they’re far from the only way! Claddagh earrings are lovely ways to incorporate this centuries-old design into your look. For example, the 14K Yellow Gold Claddagh Hoop Earrings meld the Claddagh with gleaming loops of gold to create a pair that’s always in good taste.

In addition to its ability to symbolize friendship, love and loyalty, the Claddagh is also said to have religious significance as it creates a picture of the Holy Trinity: the crown represents the Father, and the two hands represent the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Claddagh Cross Pendant in 14K Yellow Gold gives the Claddagh a clear message of faith by combining it with the symbol of the cross. The two hands and the heart form the horizontal beam of this cross, while the crown sits atop and a smaller cross is carved into the bottom of the vertical beam. This shining, detailed 14K yellow gold piece measures ¾ inches high, making it a lovely accent for any day.

To express your love, to state your faith or to simply make a fashion statement, try a piece of Claddagh jewelry! These pieces provide timeless style and an ageless message.

The butterfly has long represented rebirth and second chances. Having begun life as a caterpillar, it is transformed into a gorgeous creature after what seems like the end, making it the perfect representation of starting over no matter what lies in the past. Pieces that depict it are lovely ways to celebrate a new beginning.

In addition, butterfly pendants and other pieces of jewelry featuring these beautiful winged creatures are perfect complements to the floral patterns that are popping up this spring. These pieces seem right at home in the midst of fresh seasonal colors and motifs.

While gold provides the foundation for the pieces in this collection, several of them are adorned with lavish hues, providing looks that capture the colorful beauty of the creatures they depict. For instance, the wings of the butterfly in the Red and Blue Wings Butterfly Pendant in 14K Gold are given a stained glass look with artfully-placed touches of color, created with a translucent acrylic coating. This pendant is a truly unique and gorgeous piece. Two similar styles, the Green and Black Wings Butterfly Pendant in 14K Gold and the Black and Yellow Butterfly Wings Pendant in 14K Gold give this design two new, equally striking looks.

The 14K Rose Gold Butterfly Pendant uses the contrast between two complementary metals to create a sophisticated and striking piece.

It’s a look with hints of feminine vintage style, but also with a sense of contemporary charm.

Of course, butterflies look great on far more than just pendants. For instance, three of them adorn the Butterfly Bangle Bracelet in 14K Yellow Gold. The wings of these whimsical creatures are filled with airy filigree-like designs, providing a look that’s both light and feminine. These butterflies sit atop a hinged bangle that allows you slip this bracelet on and off with ease. This exquisite bracelet is crafted from gleaming 14K yellow gold, making it a piece with lasting beauty.

Butterflies are also lovely motifs for earrings, and the butterfly Earrings in 14K White Gold are excellent picks. This pair dangles the airy outlines of six butterflies from your ears—three on each side—allowing them to follow your every movement and flutter in time. The 14K white gold from which they’re crafted gives them cool, versatile beauty that will endure for years to some.

Richly-colored gemstone jewelry is sure to make an impression this Christmas, and sapphire pieces are a wonderful pick for showing a loved one that you think they are a treasure.

Different sizes of gold hoop earrings may be right for you depending on the occasion. For example, smaller styles are a more practical choice if you’re participating in a sport or playing with a young child who might pull on them.

Another important consideration is the other jewelry you’re wearing, as picking the right size can create an attractive balance to your outfit. Sizeable hoops can accent an otherwise lackluster ensemble, but those same earrings could be overpowering if you’re already wearing a bold necklace and chunky bracelet. Of course, your personal taste is often the best determining factor in which size of hoop earrings to wear—choose the size that expresses your sense of style and your earrings will always “fit” you.

Your taste and lifestyle will also determine which type of clasp is a good fit for you. A hollow sleeve closure is a good option for active individuals as there are no backs to lose or posts that can poke the wearer in the neck. Many favor them for their seamless appearance, but some people find them a little trickier to close than styles with other types of clasps. However, since hoops with hollow sleeve closures can be worn in comfort for nearly any activity—smaller styles can even be slept in—you don’t need to take them out unless you want a change. In contrast, hinged closures provide an easy on and off, but may not be the most practical choice for active occasions.

Whether you prefer white gold hoop earrings or gold hoop earrings, Apples of Gold’s collection of hoop earrings has a wide range of sizes to choose from. From as small as an ear-hugging half inch in diameter to over two inches, you can go as bold or as subtle as you’d like. Combine these sizes with your choice of widths to create a look that’s delicate, daring or anywhere in between.

Apples of Gold’s 1 3/16″ 14K Gold Hoop Earrings, which are 2 mm wide, make a delicate but boldly glamorous statement. These hoops take any outfit up a notch. If you’re looking for hoops that strike a balance with nearly any style, consider Apples of Gold’s ¾ inch 14K Gold Hoop Earrings. At 3mm wide, they’re more substantial without being the least bit gaudy. Earrings like these draw just the right amount of attention.

The different sizes of hoop earrings that are available allow you to choose a style that’s just right for you. Consider your lifestyle, your outfit and your taste to find the perfect pair.

They transition effortlessly from day to night and from workweek to weekend. Their simple style complements any type of gold jewelry, whether you pair them with another set of more elaborate earrings or wear them with a delicate pendant.

The 9/16” diameter small Gold Hoop Earrings in 14k yellow gold are the smallest yellow gold hoop earrings sold by Apples of Gold.

If you’re looking for small gold hoop earrings that are just slightly larger, consider the 3/4″ diameter 14K Gold Hoop Earrings. They’re almost a quarter inch larger in diameter than Apples of Gold’s smallest version and, at 3mm thick, they’re 50 percent thicker. They utilize a hinged closure, making them a breeze to slip on and take off—although you might not want to take off this classic, go-with-everything style.

If white gold hoop earrings are more your style, the 9/16” 14K White Gold Hoop Earrings may be just what you’re looking for.  Like the 9/16” yellow gold earrings, these are the smallest size of hoop earrings sold by Apples of Gold, however, unlike the yellow gold version, they’re fastened with hinged clasps. They’re poised to become a jewelry staple.

All of Apples of Gold’s small gold hoop earrings are made from only the highest-quality precious metal. They’re designed not only to look good, but also to last for years to come.
