claddaugh rings are worn towards the heart if you are taken and away if you are available or looking or open to love the crown is used to symbolise loyalty, the hands friendship and the heart love. it is also the traditional irish wedding ring but is also used as a friendship ring. but not all of them have the crown, heart, and hands.
hope i helped:)

The hands represent friendship, the heart represents love and the crown represents loyalty. If you wear it with the bottom of the heart pointed out from your hand- it means your heart is open and if you wear it the other way it means you are taken and your heart is closed.

Perhaps you mean a Claddagh Ring?
The best way to learn about a Claddagh Ring is to really get into the writings on the internet. There is one or two common meanings that have followed the tradition through, but by now the purpose has become pretty much whatever you would like it to be. I know a couple of my female friends have Claddagh Rings from their father. One friend was told that it meant she (the daughter) belonged to the father until such time as she fell in love and started up a family. While another friend of mine went by the same guidelines, only a promise of virginity until marriage was also agreed upon. Traditions alter vastly over the years, but the special bond behind the ring will always remain.
To read on the Claddagh Ring, you can just search for it under Google.
