Tradition says that if you're single, you should wear the ring on the right hand with the heart facing away from your body, suggesting you're open to love. If you're in a relationship, it should be worn on the right hand but with the heart facing inwards. If you're engaged and not yet married, the ring should be worn on the left hand on the third finger, with the heart positioned outwards. Finally, if you're married or in a lifelong, committed relationship, wear the ring on the left ring finger with the heart pointed inward.
Both Norman and Sheehan confirm there are generally no rules when it comes to ring stacking with a Claddagh, but Norman suggests playing up a daintier version with diamonds or gemstones for added sparkle. Momocreatura's In Death Love Survives piece ($194) makes for a great complement to your other jewelry if you favor emeralds. Meanwhile, Sheehan prefers the shape of a classic Claddagh with a chevron or arch-shaped contour band.
