Walt Disney's Claddagh Ring

This is the ring that Walt Disney wore on his right hand. Walt Disney and his wife apparently purchased a pair of Claddagh rings during a trip to Ireland and wore them often. This ring was one of only two pieces of jewelry that Disney wore, the other being his wedding ring which he wore on the other hand.The traditional Irish Claddagh ring - a heart topped by a crown and held by two hands - symbolizes love, loyalty and friendship, three appealing qualities that make the world a wonderful place when they are practiced.A happily married man, Walt wore his ring the “wrong” way - according to some Claddagh purists - with the heart pointing out, meaning that his heart was available.

It amused Lillian, but she knew that he meant no slight to her. He just liked the way his Claddagh ring looked with the heart pointed out. The Partners statue reflects that, as does the wax figure of him at Madame Tussaud’s in Orlando.If you like what I make and would like to support me so that I can make more models like this, you can always buy me a coffee at
