I always wished I had one!!!
(When I was in Ireland, I tried to make my husband buy me one… My suggestions did not work)
^^
There’s the internet, Siri!! A bit of arm-twisting or something….
))))
Lovely, I’ve always liked those rings but didn’t realise there was a name or meaning to them.
Great shot Athena. Wonderful detail!
Mhh… I will try with arm-twisting for another trip to Ireland and, if it does not work, for a quick buy on the Internet!
Ann; thanks. Yes they were, I think, once used in Claddagh as wedding rings, but I could be wrong there. In any case they do have the dual friendship/romantic meaning. ie they can be worn for either, depending on the way around! Google for the details.
Vadrefjord: thanks, it took a while to get right grrr!
Siri: yes do! Best in summer when you have the light to take all those lovely places! And if that doesn’t happen then the Net!
That’s a real nice macro, lovely depth of field – you must have very steady hands, keep off the gin!
Thank you Maestro for the Fave and comment! You can only imagine my pain to get this shot!!! I think I need a gin to destress my shaky hands after it all!!
)))
Fantastic Close-up!
Seen In The Group, That’s Getting Up Close!
Love the claddagh. My husband gave one to me on our first anniversary of dating (1984) and his wedding ring is a claddagh. Traditionally, they are silver. If the tip of the heart is pointed toward your heart, you are taken. If it is pointed away, you are not.
Great dof on the shot.

Gary: Thanks once again
Doubleewe: I guess everyone has their own story of Claddagh in their lives! Thanks for story and compliment W
)
Great shot, accurately the sharpness process
Danke, franzburghart
Lovely shot Athena, I love Claddagh rings, I have a gold one, and treasure it
Thanks rodoman
Yeah, I think most of us have had one at some time! I had a silver one in my teens.
Nice shot , wonder if you ever heard the song "the old claddagh ring "
"The old claddagh ring, sure it was my grandmother’s
She wore it a lifetime and gave it to me"
Thanks, John for visit, comment and fave! And also for reminding me of the song, I had long forgotten! (I’m Irish, but living in UK.)
Iconic. Like it…
Thanks, spearbearer! Little sucker of a shot took me two days to get right, what with lighting and handshake…in the end it came sweet as a dream…typical!!
beautiful image…and gr8 commentary!=}
Thanks, fotophriendly
great shot !! I like macro and should maybe do some more !! youv’e inspired me !
Thanks Vic Nic! Much appreciated comments
lovely
Thanks awohlfarth1
Very nice Athena. I hadn’t realized you had this on your site. I swear I wasn’t copying you, lol. Great minds and all that…..
Just thought you might like to see this, your pic reminded me of that one. Thank you, I am quite pleased with this shot and it is being used in that website above in the Claddagh ring section. (dochara.com)
Beautiful close-up of fine rings. Thanks for licensing the photo under CC – it’s been used to illustrate a piece about the history of Claddagh rings.
Nice write-up too, lelijg!
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Claddagh (Friendship, Love, Loyalty), and we’d love to have this added to the group!
