- “My people, before I was changed… They exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It’s a Claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship, the crown represents loyalty… And the heart… Well, you know… Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody.”
- ―Angel[src]
Claddagh ring was a birthday gift from Angel to Buffy Summers, wearing one himself.[1] She kept it long after the vampire lost his soul, and Angel continued using it although with the point reversed.[2]
Scott Hope eventually presented Buffy with a different Claddagh ring as a friendship ring, which he got from a “retro store”. Though well-intentioned, the action wreaked emotional havoc on Buffy given the design’s significance.[3] She finally parted with the one Angel gave her when she placed it on the site where she had sent him to Acathla's dimension,[4] at the Crawford Street mansion. Moments later, after she left, Angel returned on that exact spot.[3]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
- The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring first produced in the 17th century given as a token of love or worn as a wedding ring. The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the city of Galway.
- The ring was reproduced as an actual item featuring the "Supernatural Defense Kit", as well as the Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figures “Angel” and “Vampire Angel”.
