Growing up in Dublin I used to scan the antique jewellery shops and spot really, really old claddagh's in gold - mostly men's. They were chunky and hewn looking, much less evolved than today's - almost primitive, which with their age, just added to their beauty. I have a silver claddagh with Marcasite heart. Now I want to make one in silver for my son thanks to your images.
I say that ring is the symbol of love and commitment so I prefer to have a couple ring like Irish wedding rings on my special day of giving myself to special guy.
