Lovely wares as well!

We then went to Lazlo Jewellers just across the street where they had a smaller size and the price was significantly cheaper.

She had this done within an hour while we took care of other arrangements. Thank you Margo for the GREAT SERVICE!

Aideen was lovely and said an exchange would be no problem. We sent the ring via USPS on Aug 24, 2024 and after MANY, MANY emails, phone calls, and twice speaking to Aideen, still no ring. Its now April 2025. To say I'm disappointed and upset by this situation is an understatement. We work so hard for our money and to have 450.00 just taken form us is just sick. I will never understand why people are so devious and calculated and like screwing over good people. I wish I would have read some of the negative reviews before my husband even stepped foot inside to buy the ring. BTW-if you look at past reviews, they have ghosted customers in the past. Be warned!

I was walking around Quay and Shop Avenue and looked at several different shops for a Claddagh…read morering. And, they seemed extreme, the "cheaper ones" were not necessarily Silver and almost seemed like Aluminum foil, and really flimsy. And, some of the other designs at other shops seemed over price, and too high for my price point. But, we walked around and went to several shops, and luckily stumbled upon this *GEM*. It was a little more intimate, and NOT as much like a. Conveyer belt/assembly line-like feel. My husband and I were the only ones in the shop, and the salesperson/shop attendant was very attentive and sized my ring for me. But, yeah it's a little bit "touristy" but I also feel like it's a meaningful memento to take home.

Eating a fabulous meal at Dock 1 restaurant in Galway, one of the servers to come by the table had…read morethis beautiful compass necklace on. I really liked it so I complimented her on it. She happens to also work at a shop that sells the necklace and told my friend and I where we can get one. She even called the store for us and let us know there was only one in stock in sliver, hers that I liked was in gold. We walked over to the shop and ended up spending more time in there than we thought! Such beautiful jewelry! I almost changed my mind to a different necklace that said "Success" on it, but ended up going back to my original compass necklace which is what brought us there. My friend and I tried on various different pieces and really we could've spent all of our money here! Needless to say about 400 euro later between the two of us, we left. And she said that she would ship the compass necklace to me since I wanted gold and it wasn't at the store at the time. How fantastic! I was so happy that I could get what I wanted and I'll be eagerly awaiting it in the mail. It's important that I mention this is really a local flavor shop as everything inside is made by Ireland artisans. It's great to get authentic things while traveling rather than items that aren't made from the local area. And that it also supports those locals by spending money on their items. The doggie there is funny, kind of a ornery old bat but still sweet, she'd bark if she heard kids outside. You'd think it's fine as long as they weren't in the store but nope, keep it quiet kids! I pet her several times, so she was also very sweet. Stop in the store while in Galway! Pick up some small art, nicknacks, and especially some jewelry!!

Fallers went above and beyond all expectations! I have truly been wanting a Claddagh ring since I…read morewas young. Was back in Ireland for my 50th birthday a few years ago and, unfortunately, didn't spend time in Galway for that trip, though I had been there for previous trips so knew of the city's reputation for being "the place" for Claddagh rings. Many places we visited on the last trip offered 10K or very delicate rings but I needed a heftier ring in 14K to size better with my 6 foot plus frame. So, once again, returned to the states without one. Fast forward 3 years and my pending nuptials inspired me to search for the Claddagh I was always meant to wear. Saw their 14K men's Claddagh on-line and was familiar with Fallers as one of the preeminent jewelers for this classic design. President John F Kennedy received one of their Claddagh rings, in fact. Without seeing it on my finger to be sure it was the size and feel I wanted, I was a bit torn. I emailed to see if they had any pictures of the ring on a man's hand to get some perspective. They replied and said they did not, however, they went above and beyond to send me a few pictures of the ring on one of the male employee's finger to get a better idea. It looked just as I was imagining and so the deal was done! I received it in plenty of time before my wife and I got married and I have received so may compliments on it. Very pleased with the quality and service!
