I purchased this ring to replace my old claddagh-- it had a thin band and got bent up far too easily.  So I hunted around and found something not quite as dainty and what I hoped would be sturdier than sterling.  I have always liked chunkier rings, and this is soft, but has the size I want.  It will take me a bit of time to get used to a wider band, but I can tell this will live up to daily wear far better than my old ring.

The little blue sateen bag was a nice touch, too!  It would make a great gift for someone :)
