what does two hands holding a heart with a crown mean
Claddagh ring The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart and usually surmounted by a crown. These elements symbolize the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). A "Fenian" Claddagh ring, without a crown, is a slightly different take on the design but has not achieved the level of popularity of the crowned version. Claddagh rings are relatively popular among the Irish[15] and those of Irish heritage, such as Irish Americans,[21] as cultural symbols and as friendship, engagement and wedding rings.[22]
