The hands represent friendship.  The heart is for love.  And the crown symbolizes loyalty.  Some people use Claddagh rings as wedding rings, but they are also given as tokens of friendship and love.  If the ring is worn with the point of the heart facing out, it indicates that the man is single.  Worn with the heart pointing in, it says he might not be married, but he isn’t available.  Men’s Claddagh rings come in silver or gold.  They are usually a bit thicker than women’s Claddagh rings.
