    Hi all

    Firstly - mods - I hope it's ok, but I'm posting a similar thread in both the Dublin City, and in the Dublin 15 forum - just because these are two different places I am going to be in this weekend. If it's not cool, please let me know!

    So - I'm living abroad, but I'm back in Ireland for the weekend. I have a mission to find a Claddagh Ring for a girl I don't know(!). Her boyfriend asked me to pick something up on a trip back to Ireland, but is a bit, um, vague when it comes to style. It's to be gold, I have the size, and other than that I think we've narrowed it down to probably not having a stone (but this is really me putting my own preference on it, and he just agreed - so other people's views would be appreciated). Price range is about €400 / €500.

    Does anybody know the best jewellers for Claddagh rings in the D15 - I haven't been to the Blanch Centre in almost a year - or would there be anything still around in the village? It's a really nice surprise for his girlfriend, and it would be good to get something special - especially considering the amount he's willing to pay. I probably won't have the time to wait for something to be made.

    Many thanks in advance, as I'm going in a bit blind here - I don't really know much about Claddagh rings except for the whole upside down meaning thing.

    Argos used to do Claddagh rings, might be worth a look in there

    Thanks guys

    @January - I really don't like the look of that puffed Claddagh ring. Sorry - I'm being as annoying as the person who sent me to to find this.. (I do appreciate the suggestion though!!) I'd say something slim if possible. I think the girl who will be wearing this would be quite dainty - and (my impression) is that Claddagh rings can be a bit heavy. If it were up to me, I'd be looking for a slim band, and a light enough ring piece if that makes sense?

    Thanks Gaspode - I didn't think of that either! i'll have a look in Argos too.

    A claddagh ring does not cost 400 euro. But do not buy in Argos. Looks cheap. Is cheap. I would go with Fields. You can get 10% off for cash as well. Blanchardstown centre also has Tower and Crystal jewellers. But please no Argos. Any girl would run a mile.
