Irish Claddagh Rings, Reinvented by Snow Design

claddagh ring

I should have written this post for you last week, so you could have placed an order for these sweet Claddagh rings in time for Valentine’s Day. But these are, of course, a sweet gift idea for any time of the year: laser cut wooden Claddagh rings from Snow Design.

Claddagh rings are traditional Irish rings, first designed in a the small town of Claddagh, near Galway. They’re often given to represent friendship, love and loyalty and so many people wear them over here. If you wear a Claddagh ring one way, it also signifies that you’re taken, and the other way signifies you’re still looking for love.

These laser cut wooden Claddagh rings are much more my style than the traditional look and I love how the little heart sparkles! You can order one yourself from the Snow website, and they’re so affordable – only €6 each!

Here are a few completely unflattering photos of me modeling the Claddagh rings. It’s been so long since my skin has seen the sun my hands are starting to looking a little blue!  claddagh ring 3

DIY Thursday has been postponed until tomorrow, for the same reason that these photos are not the most flattering. I couldn’t wrangle a photographer and this DIY project needed some modeling! It’ll be extra-festive tomorrow!
