About Us
Online since 1999 from our home in Cork, Ireland - the home of
the famous Blarney Castle in the little town of Blarney where
our own family lived and worked in its famous mills for
generations - the Royal Claddagh ring continues the
centuries old tradition of the Galway Claddagh dating back to
the 17th Century.
Crafted in Dublin by master goldsmiths
in the heart of Ireland's capital city since 1907, and hallmarked at
Dublin Castle under Irish law dating back to 1637 - in love and
friendship let us reign.
