They also have a nice selection of a sub-genre of Celtic jewelry for women.  There collection is so large that to make it more accessible they have divided their collection of Celtic jewelry to Celtic jewelry for women and Celtic jewelry for men.

Of all the thousands of Celtic jewelry types the single most popular type of Celtic jewelry and in this case the most popular of  all Celtic jewelry for women is the Claddagh ring.

There are Claddagh necklaces, Claddagh pendants, Claddagh charms and the Claddagh ring. None is more popular than the ring and I don't think it is because the Claddagh ring is a Celtic jewelry item and a Irish jewelry item.

The symbolism of the Claddagh ring is a pair of hands, a heart and a crown. The Claddagh ring meaning is more detailed but the short side of the symbolism of the Claddagh is that the pair of hands represents friendship. The heart means love and the crown is loyalty.

Is there a difference between and Irish Claddagh ring and a Celtic Claddagh ring? Technically yes. The Celtic Claddagh ring is Claddagh rings with Celtic symbols on them and the Irish Claddagh ring has no Celtic knots or symbols.
