Claddaugh rings have always traditionally been used in the Irish culture as a friendship/commitment ring or as a wedding band. So, YES.
a boyfriend can absolutely give a girlfriend a Claddagh ring. on the right hand when worn, heart facing out.. means the wearers heart is available - single ... heart facing in the heart of the wearer is taken.. on the left hand.. facing in.. married. if out.. i have no idea.. the metal, platinum, for a girlfriend? in my book.. rather pricey,, sterling silver would be just as nice and probably alittle more practical for the ol' budget.. really it depends on what she likes. i wear silver now.. but hint around to the old man for a platinum one for engagement/wedding. Probably but I've never heard of it before. If they did they'd probably be laughed at though.
Jewelry did not have any particular significance in Rome except that the woman who wore it was wealthy. A man was not expected to wear jewelry except for maybe one ring in addition to his signet ring.
