Needed two, but I only ordered one because I was worried when I read above reviews, like the one stating the lines were hand-drawn onto the ring. Not true! The lines are silver varnish and will come and go. leave it alone and they'll stay. Polish them and they'll be gone. It is the best quality claddagh I've ever seen. The picture doesn't do it justice either. The actual ring looks even better than the picture. It's sterling silver (.925) so it's shinyer than the picture. The rope design makes this ring. My 16 year old absolutely loves it. Not too big - not too small. After seeing it on her hand, I bought another one (that very day) for my 18 year old. The exact same ring arrived two days later (just a different size) . She loves hers too. A VERY SAFE BUY GUYS! It's been a week and they're still wearing them. They like the varnish so they're chosing not to varnish them.
