‘The young people love it’ – Galway jewellers weigh in on rise in popularity of iconic Claddagh ring

Unknown culture, culture & history, engagement rings, popular culture, society, traditions

This week saw St Patrick’s Day celebrations kick off across the world as swathes of people celebrated Irish culture through song, dance and of course, craic.


 With the popularity of Irish culture on the rise, it’s no surprise that one of the country’s most iconic symbols has been given a boost as well.


 The Claddagh ring’s three main elements represent love (heart), friendship (hands), and loyalty (crown). Together, they mean to symbolise a powerful message of commitment and enduring affection.


 Patricia Connolly, manager at Claddagh Jewellers in Galway city centre, said the uptick in custom has been clear – but it has coincided with one of their busiest times of the year.


 She told the
 
 Irish Independent
 
 : “The young people seem to love it. I mean, we’re always busy, but especially now after St Patrick’s Day. This is when it starts – and it stays busy until It’s such a popular ring.”


 The ring has always been popular, however recently
 
 Bridgerton
 
 star and Galway native Nicola Coughlan brought it back into the pop culture conversation when she wore hers at the
 
 Bridgerton
 
 series three premiere in Dublin.


 The Claddagh ring’s fashion resurgence has been exemplified on social media platforms such as Tiktok, showing how the next generation is discovering the jewellery’s special significance.


 About why more young people are gravitating towards the symbol, Patricia said: “I think they just love the idea of it. For the last three days all the young Americans are coming in. A lot of them seem to be looking for the big Claddagh earrings, but we don’t sell those.”


 It’s not just tourists who are coming into their shop, however: “Irish people are always coming in to look at rings for their partner, and a lot of them come at Christmas too for that kind of gift. Friends buy them for each other as well.


 “I don’t know where that started, it’s just hugely popular its all over the world.”


 For Patricia herself, she has her own connection to the symbol: “I have my mother’s Claddagh ring that she passed on to me. Most of our staff have one as well. I think it’s because of that special story behind it.”

 Although it's now one of the UK's most iconic seaside towns, Hastings was once just a small fishing village.


 
 It became globally famous due to its association with the 1066 Battle of Hastings, even though the famous showdown between William the Conqueror and Harold Godwinson was actually fought about seven miles down the road in Senlac Hill.
 


 
 Despite that geographical inaccuracy, the town drew tourists in the early 1900s who travelled to Hastings in droves to enjoy holidays by the sea and admire its Norman Castle.
 


 
 Like many British seaside towns, Hastings sadly suffered a fall in popularity in the 1980s and 90s when cheap package holidays abroad began to attract Brits overseas.
 


 
 Nevertheless Hastings remains a popular daytrip destination for Londoners.
 


 
 It's also home to one of Europe's last 'beach-launched fishing fleets' - a top tourist draw.
 


 
 MailOnline Travel is now taking a walk down memory lane with this collection of fascinating, historic photos, depicting the seaside town's glory days.

Oldest human FACE: Ancient man lived in Spain 1.4 million years ago

Unknown archaeology, biology, culture, culture & history, health, society

 READ MORE: Scientists reveal face of 'completely unknown' human ancestor
 
 </li>
</ul>

 Scientists have discovered the oldest human face in Western Europe, potentially rewriting the story of human evolution.


 The ancient human nicknamed 'Pink' lived in
 Spain
 's Iberian Peninsula between 1.1 and 1.4 million years ago.


 That means Pink easily predates the arrival of modern humans, Homo sapiens, on the continent just 45,000 years ago.


 The fossilised remains are distinct from other ancient hominin remains found in the area, raising the possibility that Pink could be an entirely new human species.


 The fragments of this hominin face were discovered in 2022 inside a cave called Sima del Elefante,
 where some of Europe's most ancient human remains have been found.


 Nevertheless, Pink seems to have a distinct architecture compared to Homo antecessor, another hominin species that inhabited the region as far back as 860,000 years ago.


 Rather than resembling us, he looks more like Homo erectus, an even older human species that appeared in Africa about two million years ago and was the first to walk upright just as we do today.


 Researchers think that Pink's species might have been some of the earliest humans to reach Europe, only to be eradicated later due to rapid climatic changes.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1AQdff" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1AQdff.jpg"/>
<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1AQ880" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1AQ880.jpg"/>

 Consisting of various fragmented pieces along with sections of two teeth, the skeletal remnants discovered at Sima del Elephant are thought to represent the earliest known instance of human face bones uncovered in Western Europe.


 The research team dubbed the person 'Pink' inspired by Pink Floyd's album "Dark Side of the Moon," known as 'La Cara Oculta de la Luna' in Spanish, with 'cara oculta' translating to 'hidden face.'


 Once Pink’s remains were uncovered, researchers originally believed that they might be attributed to another of the early human species that had been identified in the region.


 Inside the cave, earlier studies revealed the presence of Homo antecessor fossils estimated at around 860,000 years old.


 By examining the numerous other animal fossils discovered in the same stratum of the cave along with the indications of periodic changes in Earth’s magnetic field imprinted in the soil, scientists determined that Pink's remains are approximately 1.1 to 1.4 million years old.


 Moreover, upon meticulously rebuilding the remains, it was evident that Pink’s facial structure did not match any known ancient human species from the region.


 Dr María Martinón, who leads the National Centre for Research on Human Evolution, comments: "While Homo antecessor has a more contemporary appearance with a defined nasal bone area similar to Homo sapiens, Pink displays characteristics closer to those found in Homo erectus, specifically through its flatter and less developed nose."


 Homo erectus was the first human species to develop an upright gait and posture like a modern human and was the first to use stone hand tools for cutting.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1AQhJ5" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1AQhJ5.jpg"/>

 After emerging in Africa around two million years ago, this species migrated out into Asia and even made its way into Eastern Europe.


 At a site in modern-day Georgia, palaeontologists have discovered five skulls belonging to Homo erectus
 dating back 1.8 million years
 .


 However, the Western European fossil record is extremely bare before 800,000 years ago.


 Scientists have only found a single tooth and some stone tools dating to 1.4 million years ago in Spain, along with
 a jawbone at Sima del Elefante dated to 1.1 million years ago.


 Near Pink's remains, researchers also discovered stone tools made of quartz and flint, alongside animal bones bearing clear cut marks.


 This indicates that Pink and their relatives had already developed a simple tool 'industry' and knew how to butcher animals for meat just like Homo erectus.


 Study co-author Dr Xosé Pedro Rodríguez, of the University of Rovira i Virgili (URV), says: 'They suggest an effective subsistence strategy and highlight the hominins’ ability to exploit the resources available in their environment.'


 If Pink really is a member of Homo erectus, then this find would show that this human ancestor species spread itself far wider and far earlier than scientists had previously thought.

 Who were Homo antecessor?
 </h3>
 <div class="ins cleared mol-factbox-body">
 
 Homo antecessor is one of the earliest known varieties of human discovered in Europe, dating as far back as one million years ago.
 
 
 Believed to have weighed around 14 stone, Homo antecessor was said to have been between 5.5 and 6ft tall.
 
 
 Their brain sizes were roughly between 1,000 and 1,150 cm³, which is smaller than the average 1,350 cm³ brains of modern humans.
 
 
 The species is believed to have been right-handed, making it different from other apes, and may have used a symbolic language, according to archaeologists who found remains in Burgos, Spain in 1994.
 
 </div>
</div>

 However, the researchers aren't convinced that Pink is just another member of this human ancestor species.


 Although their skulls are similar, Pink's facial structure is narrower than examples of Homo erectus found across Asia and Africa.


 But, with only fragments of bone and two worn teeth to go on, the researchers cannot yet be certain that Pink is an entirely new species.


 Instead, they opted to designate Pink as 'Homo affinis erectus', using the Latin term 'affinis' to mean that it has an affinity with the known species.


 Dr Martinón says: 'The evidence is still insufficient for a definitive classification, which is why we adopted the name Homo affinis erectus.


 She adds that this was done to 'acknowledge Pink’s affinities with Homo erectus while leaving open the possibility that the remains may belong to another species.'


 The researchers argue that Pink's species was part of the first wave of human migration into Western Europe.


 Yet, that first migration appears to have been cut off abruptly when the climate of the Iberian Peninsula suddenly changed.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1AQfxB" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1AQfxB.jpg"/>

 At the time Pink lived in Spain, the Sierra de Atapuerca region would have featured a mix of wooded areas, wet grasslands, and seasonal water sources - making for a resource-rich environment for ancient humans.


 However,
 previous studies suggest that there may have been a sudden climatic shift around 1.1 million years ago
 which could have wiped out the human population.


 That could explain why there is such a large gap in the fossil record between Pink and the later Homo antecessor remains.


 Dr Eudald Carbonell, a palaeontologist from URV and co-director of the project, says: 'Evidence for different hominin populations in Western Europe during the Early Pleistocene suggests that this region was a key point in the evolutionary history of the genus Homo.'

 The researchers believe that Pink's species could have been among the very first humans to arrive in Europe before being wiped out by a sudden shift in the climate.

 Composed of several broken fragments and parts of two teeth, the remains found at Sima del Elefante are believed to be the oldest example of human facial bones found in Western Europe.


 The researchers nicknamed the individual 'Pink' after Pink Floyd's album Dark Side of the Moon, which is 'La cara oculta de la luna' in Spanish, where 'cara oculta' means 'hidden face'.


 When Pink's remains were discovered, scientists initially thought that they would belong to one of the other ancient human species found in the area.


 Within the cave, researchers have previously found the remains of Homo antecessor dating back 860,000 years.


 By looking at the thousands of other animal fossils found in the same layer of the cave alongside the traces left in the soil by periodic shifts in Earth's magnetic field, the researchers dated Pink's remains to between 1.1 and 1.4 million years ago.


 Additionally, after carefully reconstructing the remains, it became clear that Pink's face didn't have the same structure as any ancient human species from the area.


 Co-author Dr María Martinón, director of the National Centre for Research on Human Evolution, says: 'Homo antecessor shares with Homo sapiens a more modern-looking face and a prominent nasal bone structure, whereas Pink’s facial features are more primitive, resembling Homo erectus, particularly in its flat and underdeveloped nasal structure.'


 Homo erectus was the first human species to develop an upright gait and posture like a modern human and was the first to use stone hand tools for cutting.

 Dr Martinón states: "There isn't enough proof yet for a conclusive categorisation, so we chose the term Homo affinis erectus."
