Frequently asked questions
- Is Claddagh suitable for Valentine's Day?
- Yes. Claddagh suits Valentine's Day because it carries love, loyalty, and friendship in one design.
- What if I do not know their jewellery style?
- Choose a smaller pendant, a framed keepsake, a candle, or an Ogham piece rather than a bold jewellery design that depends heavily on personal taste.
- Should I choose a personalised gift?
- Choose personalisation when a name, date, Irish word, or short message would make the gift feel more specific to the relationship.
