It's-a Me, Fawn!

So my godmother recently gave me some money to buy myself something for my 21st last year and I definitely wanted to use it for something special. I fell in love with the design of this ring but after Ed told me more about it, it literally couldn’t be more perfect!

It’s called a ‘Claddagh’ ring, traditionally Irish (my godmother’s descent), and is a token of love/ friendship.
It’s location and position on your hands and fingers mean a whole variety of things as well, which is neat! Wiki’s definition is;
On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips, the wearer is single and may be looking for love. (This is most commonly the case when a young woman has first received the ring from a relative, unless she is already engaged).
On the right hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist, the wearer is in a relationship, or their heart has been “captured”.
On the left hand with the point of the heart toward the fingertips, the wearer is engaged.
On the left hand with the point of the heart toward the wrist, the wearer is married.
How awesome is that! There are so many more stories behind the ring and I am now going to return to wikipedia to read the rest ^_^
