Depending on how you wear a claddagh ring, the meaning changes:

  1. On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips: the wearer is single and might be looking for love.

  2. On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist: the wearer is in a relationship; someone "has captured their heart"

  3. On the left ring finger with the point of the heart toward the fingertips: the wearer is engaged.

  4. On the left ring finger with the point of the heart toward the wrist: the wearer is married.

Though don’t let the rules stop you if you prefer how it looks a certain way!
