Thomas Dillons Claddagh Ring - Gold Jewellers 1 Quay Street, Galway, County Galway H91 CP22

"My husband and I came all the way from Toronto, Canada and drove all over Ireland. We made our way to Galway just to purchase this precious ring from the original store. This authentic jewelry store is located in a beautiful plaza. They have so many selections of the traditional Claddagh rings and many modern selections too. My husband got me an 18 karat simple gold ring and I love it. The lady who helped us select the best choice was absolutely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place."

"Lovely and friendly people here. Helpful, so knowledgeable and professional. Bought one in rose gold (men’s) and had it sized down in minutes. Thank you!"

"I wanted to buy my partner a claddagh ring as a proposal+/-wedding band because of its symbolism, and Thomas Dillons was the obvious choice because of its history as the original claddagh ring. Their '100 year' ring is designed to commemorate the centenary of the jeweller's passing to its current ownership. I really liked this ring because it felt really substantial, with a heavy thick band (I think ~5mm?). I would definitely recommend it as a men's ring or even a standalone ring for women who like big rings, but I quickly realised that it was probably too big to be stacked with an engagement ring! They were very patient in helping me exchange the ring for one of their standard ladies' designs, which has a thinner band (3mm) and is more flattering for smaller fingers. My fiancée loves it and is looking forward to keeping it as a family heirloom for years to come. The ring itself has very intricate detail (noticeably more distinctive than my own ring which I got elsewhere in Galway) and the packaging is also very nice. The ring box feels premium, we appreciated the information leaflets which gave a bit more history of the ring, and the handwritten note was a lovely touch. We can't wait to make a trip to the museum when we're next in Galway!"

"Can’t recommend enough! I purchased a knot ring in 2017 when I visited Galway. I recently purchased Claddaghs for us this year. They’re beautiful, and Thomas Dillon is thoughtful and speedy with each sale. Thank you!"

"I bought a classic Claddagh ring 6 months ago and it didn’t leave my finger since. The ring is really pretty and reminds me of the lovely time I had in Ireland. The staff was really kind and helpful and the atmosphere was truly enchanting. Most definitely recommend!"
