It's called a "Claddagh" It is worn on your right hand with heart pointing down if your heart is open, and pointed towards you if your heart is taken. Then after you marry you place it on your left hand with the heart w/crown pointing towards you. This is what I was taught by the Irish families I met.

Unless you are talking about
The shamrock is undoubtedly the most identifiable symbol of Ireland. Shamrock comes from the Irish Gaelic word Seamrog, a word that refers to the plant's three leaves. Legend has it that during a religious debate with the Druid priests, St. Patrick plucked a shamrock to demonstrate the mysteries of the Christian Trinity--three leaves held together by a single stem. Whether or not this story is true, the shamrock is regarded as the national plant of Ireland and always worn on St. Patrick's Day.
they have hundreds of symbols.
