Claddagh Bracelet in Stainless Steel, 7.2 Inch

Product Overview
A stainless steel Claddagh bracelet with a polished finish, featuring the classic motif of two hands clasping a crowned heart along its length.
The Claddagh design originated in the 17th century in the fishing village of Claddagh, near Galway on Ireland's west coast. Its three elements carry distinct meaning in Irish tradition: the hands represent friendship, the heart represents love, and the crown represents loyalty. For more than 300 years it has been worn as a token of devotion between family members, friends, and romantic partners, making it one of the most enduring symbolic motifs in Western jewelry.
Key Features
- Crafted in stainless steel with a polished finish
- Measures 7.2 inches long
- Secured by a lobster clasp
- Approximate weight of 12.47 grams
Precious Metals at Sophia Jewelers
Every piece is crafted from certified precious metals selected for lasting brilliance and skin-safe wear.
14k Gold (Most Popular)
58.3% pure gold. The ideal balance of durability and color richness. Available in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. The standard choice for fine jewelry.
18k Gold (Premium)
75% pure gold. Richer in color, slightly softer than 14k. Preferred for heirloom and statement pieces where purity matters most.
10k Gold (Everyday Value)
41.7% pure gold. The most durable gold alloy — ideal for active wearers. Stamped 417 on the piece.
Sterling Silver
92.5% pure silver, stamped 925. Cool-toned and versatile. Best for occasional wear; silver develops a natural patina over time.
Platinum
Naturally white, hypoallergenic, and the most durable precious metal. Recommended for those with nickel sensitivities.
Titanium & Stainless Steel
Lightweight, hypoallergenic, and virtually maintenance-free. Excellent for everyday wear and sensitive skin.
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. Same carbon crystal structure, same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), same brilliance. Created in a controlled environment, lab-grown diamonds are typically 50-70% less expensive than comparable mined stones. All Sophia Jewelers lab-grown diamonds are conflict-free by definition and independently graded by IGI or GIA.
Finding the Right Bracelet Size
Measure your wrist with a flexible tape measure or a strip of paper, wrapping snugly just below the wrist bone.
- Snug fit: wrist measurement + 0.5 inch
- Standard comfortable fit: wrist measurement + 0.75-1 inch
- Loose/stacked fit: wrist measurement + 1-1.5 inches
Most women's bracelets are sized 6.5 to 8 inches; 7 inches is the standard size. Men's bracelets typically range from 8 to 9 inches. The bracelet length is listed in each product description. Bangles do not adjust — measure the widest part of your hand (knuckle to knuckle) to find the right bangle diameter.
Bracelet Types at Sophia Jewelers
- Tennis bracelet — a continuous line of diamonds or gemstones in a flexible setting; the most classic fine bracelet style
- Bangle — a rigid circular bracelet that slips over the hand; worn singly or stacked in multiples
- Cuff — an open-ended bracelet that wraps around the wrist; adjustable and bold
- Charm bracelet — a link or chain bracelet designed to hold charms; grows with you over time
- Chain bracelet — interconnected metal links in cable, box, rope, or figaro patterns
- Link bracelet — wider, flat metal links; a classic choice in gold and silver
- Beaded bracelet — strung beads in gemstone, metal, or pearl; casual and stackable
Clasp Types
- Box clasp — clicks shut securely; standard for tennis and fine chain bracelets
- Lobster claw — the most secure clasp; easy to open one-handed
- Toggle — T-bar through a loop; decorative and easy to fasten
- Fold-over — folds flat against the bracelet; used on link and bangle styles
- Safety clasp — a secondary lock added to box clasps on high-value pieces
Stacking Bracelets
Mix textures and widths: pair a thin chain bracelet with a medium cuff and a bangle for depth. Odd numbers (3 or 5) tend to stack more naturally than even. Vary metal colors or keep to a single metal tone — both work. Delicate bracelets stack better on the same wrist; bolder pieces are best worn alone or with one accent piece.
Caring for Your Jewelry
Fine jewelry deserves thoughtful care. These guidelines will keep your pieces luminous for years.
Daily Wear
- Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or using cleaning products
- Apply lotion, perfume, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry
- Avoid wearing jewelry during gym workouts or high-contact activities
- Put jewelry on last when getting dressed
Cleaning at Home
Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak for 15-20 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. Safe for gold, platinum, and most gemstones. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for pearls, opals, and emeralds.
Storage
Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or compartmentalized jewelry box to prevent scratching. Keep chains laid flat or hung to avoid tangling. Store silver in anti-tarnish pouches to slow oxidation.
Professional Care
Have precious stone jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected once a year to check prong integrity, stone security, and clasp function.

Which Celtic and Irish styles are most popular?
Claddagh rings lead the list, followed by Celtic knot pieces. Claddagh earrings, bangles and bracelets also rank high. Celtic crosses, shamrock charms and knot pendants round out the most popular styles, in sterling silver and yellow gold.
What affects the price of Celtic and Irish jewelry?
Metal, size and stones set the price. 14K gold costs more than 10K, sterling silver or stainless steel, and larger or heavier pieces use more metal. Diamonds or cubic zirconia add to the cost. Use the Price filter on this page to set a budget.
How do I choose a Claddagh ring finish?
Pick by how much shine or detail you want. Antiqued finishes darken the recesses to highlight the crown and hands. Textured or satin finishes hide small scratches, which suits daily wear. Open crown and lined crown styles change the look of the top.
Which metal is best for everyday Celtic jewelry?
Solid gold or stainless steel suit daily wear best. 14K gold resists tarnish, while 10K is a bit harder. Sterling silver is a lovely option but may darken over time. Stainless steel Claddagh styles are also here. See our jewelry care tips.
Can I wear a Celtic cross or shamrock pendant with a charm?
Pendants hang from a chain, while charms attach elsewhere. Pendants such as Celtic crosses and Claddagh designs go on a chain you already own. Shamrock and Claddagh charms suit a charm bracelet or holder, so check the listing for which one you are buying.
Do Claddagh rings come in sizes for gifting?
Yes, many list sizes right in the title. Some are in a single size, while others cover a range like 6 to 8. If unsure of the size, a pendant, charm or bracelet is an easier gift. Questions? Contact our jewelers.
