Man Claddagh Ring

History's Most Meaningful Jewel

A man Claddagh ring is a perfect choice for a male wedding ring or even for a men's ring for casual wear. When you wear a Claddagh men's ring, you wear a 300 year old legend that originated in a small fishing village in Ireland. Kaisilver creates the world's best rendition of the traditional Irish Claddagh ring and your custom man Claddagh ring is a perfect fusion of good design and good craftsmanship. Each of our Claddagh rings is completely custom made by some of the finest craftsmen and artisans. We do not mass produce these rings and can thus provide you with a high degree of customization and flexibility that no other jeweller can match.

We are the best source for your highend custom man claddagh ring as we created the world's first collection of high end men's rings. All our men's rings are designed from inputs gathered through an intense research into the habits and lifestyles of modern men. We also make the world's best rendition of the Irish Claddagh ring. Over 3,500 skilled craftsmen work on all our custom jewelry orders and we follow some of the strictest quality control standards in the industry. Kaisilver, is the world's largest online provider of highend custom jewelry, and is directly networked to all leading providers of gemstones in Thailand and five other nations.

Your Claddagh custom made man ring, like all other men's jewels, needs to be sturdy and durable. Our jewelry typically weighs around 50% to 60% more as compared to what other jewellers would offer for similar designs. Good gold weight is the primary requirement to ensure that jewelry has good long term durability. Observe the gemstone mounting in these men's claddagh rings, you will notice that the entire gemstone is bordered with gold. This type of mounting ensures that the gemstone is firm and secure, it also protects the gemstone from side impact. Prong settings for gemstones are generally not long lasting as the prongs tend to stick in pockets and other places. This causes them to gradually open up and loosen the gemstone. You can order your man Claddagh ring in 14k or 18k white or yellow gold but, we strongly recommend 14k gold because of it's hardness.

You can choose just about any gemstone for your men's Claddagh ring and need not limit yourself to the gemstones that you see on our website. The ring can therefore be made as a birthstone claddagh man ring with your birthstone set in the center. All gemstones are handpicked and custom cut by experts and we do not indulge in 'close out' and 'blow out' gimmicks where, low grade gemstones are set in lightweight junk jewelry with substandard craftsmanship.

Since every ring is made from start to finish, you can ask for all design modifications for these man Claddagh rings. For example, the same ring can be made without a crown on the heart or could have an etching inside the band. Another popular variation of Claddagh men's rings is to exclude the gemstone from the ring. The ring is then made as a solid gold ring with no gemstone set in it. Email us your requirements at sales@kaisilver.com with any queries that you might have. A team of Kaisilver designers and craftsmen answers all queries in simple and non-technical terms.

History Of The Claddagh Ring
Few people are aware that this very popular Irish ring has a very humble beginning in a small fishing village in Ireland. The man Claddagh ring of today is a high end jewel and can be made with various gemstones and diamonds. Tracing the history of this spectacular ring takes us back in time to over 300 years. In a fishing village named Claddagh, lived a young fisherman by the name of Robert Joyce. One day young Robert was sailing on the seas when the boat in which he was sailing was attacked by pirates. Slavery was rampant in those days and all the captives in the boat were sold as slaves. Robert Joyce was sold to a wealthy goldsmith and learnt the trade from his master. During his tenure as a slave Robert kept thinking of his beloved who lived far away in the Claddagh village.

Slowly becoming proficient in the goldsmith trade, young Robert started making a ring for his beloved, he also dreamt of the time when they would be united once again. A few years later, Robert Joyce was released from slavery and went back home to his fishing village. He met his beloved and presented the ring that he made to her. The couple were soon married and lived happily every after. This ring came to be known as the claddagh ring and soon became popular all over the globe. As word of the Claddagh ring spread, people from countries far off from Ireland started respecting and wearing this Irish ring. Your man Claddagh ring is also one of the most popular Irish wedding rings.

The Irish Claddagh ring is surely one of the most meaningful jewels in history. There have been more expensive and more flashing jewels flaunted through the centuries, but most of these jewels have been got by kings plundering nations or power hungry rulers selfishly pandering their own interests. The first Claddagh ring was made under the extremely harsh conditions of slavery. It is a symbol of love, friendship and togetherness and highlights the victory of human effort under very dire circumstances. Your man Claddagh ring is a great choice for a wedding ring as, you will be wearing a true legend that symbolises virtues that are fast being forgotten in today's materialistic world.

Before we close this discussion on enhancing the meaning of your Claddagh men's ring, we would like to mention another way that can help add meaning to your ring. This involves etching a name or other message inside the band of your custom man Claddagh ring. The size of the name or message depends on the ring size, as squeezing a big word in a very small portion would make it almost unreadable. For wedding and engagement rings, the husband and wife can choose to etch each other's names inside their rings. At Kaisilver etchings inside rings are done at no additional charge, so you should consider this interesting option when ordering your Claddagh or other rings.


Why Is Kaisilver Your Best Source For Custom Jewelry?
The Claddagh ring is just one of the high end jewelry presentations from Kaisilver. It is true that, we make the best rendition of the traditional Irish Claddagh ring and our rings retain all features of the original ring that was made by young Robert Joyce more than 300 years ago. We custom make all kinds of jewelry and each jewel has high end craftsmanship and high quality handfinishing. We do not mass produce merchandise as that is not the way how high end jewelry is supposed to be made. Here are a few reasons why you should order your custom made jewelry from us:

Well Researched Designs: A team of Kaisilver designers and craftsmen spent several months studying the history and meaning of the Claddagh ring. The idea was to make the craftsmen and artisans feel that they were working on a jewel that is a valuable part of human history. The ring has deep meaning and it is necessary that every single feature in the ring is retained and created every time. The same process was followed when we decided to launch the world's first collection of high end men's rings. The objective was to create men's rings that were stylish, had good craftsmanship and durability and yet did not appear to be dainty and flimsy. A Kaisilver team researched the lifestyle and habits of modern men for almost half a year and these inputs were included in every design that we made. The results are stunning and today we virtually control the entire market for high end men's rings and also traditional Irish Claddagh rings.

Sturdy and Durable: While our buyers are impressed by the gorgeous designs that we offer and love the high end craftsmanship of our jewelry, we do the background work and ensure that the custom jewelry that you buy is also strong with good longterm durability. This is something that most jewellers would ignore, as all they care about is making a quick sale and then leaving the buyer alone. The durability of your jewelry depends on a few factors like, the design, the gold weight, the type of gemstone mounting etc. A well researched design is the starting point and that is something that we always provide for all our jewelry. With 50% to 60% more gold weight as compared to what others offer, we ensure that your jewelry will not bend and dent at the slightest impact. The type of gemstone mounting also decides how durable your Claddagh man ring or other jewel would be. You will notice that the gemstone is entirely bordered with gold and this helps to firmly mount the gem stone and also protects it from side impact. This type of mounting does increase the gold requirement in the ring but is also the best way to mount a gem stone. The other option is to mount the gemstone using prongs, but this is not very advisable. Prongs tend to stick in pockets and other places, this causes them to open up and you risk losing the gem stone in your ring as it could drop off at any time. If the design you choose must use prongs, you need to make sure that the prongs are thick and strong and not thin and skinny. Thin prongs can also scratch skin and cause external injury.

All Diamond And Gem Stone Options: Our gigantic network that covers virtually all leading gemstone producers in Thailand and five other nations, gives us direct and preferential access to over 200 million carats of gemstones. All wedding bands can therefore be ordered with gemstones of your choice. Every gemstone is handpicked and custom cut by experts. With the complete customization that we provide, gemstone and diamond sizes and ring designs can be modified as per your requirements. If you need alterations for the designs or would like to send in your own designs to be custom made, please email us with details at sales@kaisilver.com and we will provide you with a price quote for the same. You need not limit yourself to the gemstone options that you see on our website, just let us know the gemstones that you need and we will procure them for you.

No Mass Production: We do not mass produce merchandise as there is no way that true high end jewelry can be made in a mass production process. Each jewel is given complete attention by some of the finest craftsmen and artisans. In the final phase of production, flawless handfinishing is provided for every jewel. Since each jewel is completely custom made you get a high degree of customization and flexibility. All design modifications are possible and you can even send us images of your favourite designs to be custom made.

Complete Gold Options: These man Claddagh rings and all the other jewelry on our website can be ordered in 14k or 18k white or yellow gold. The two tone gold option is provided at no additional charge and this combines white and yellow gold in the same ring. For example, your Claddagh man ring can be custom made with yellow gold for the entire ring, except the portion around the center gem stone which can be made in white gold. There are certain cases where the hardness of 14k gold is ideally suited, like large size rings or jewelry that has many gem stones and diamonds set in them. Our experts will guide you with the ideal gold choice and gold color, depending on the design and gem stone used in your men's Claddagh ring.
