I slammed my hand in the closet door this morning(we have the sliding doors) and bent my claddagh ring way out of shape!! I could not get it off! Earl had to squeeze it with pliers to bend it enough so I could work it over my knuckle, and even then I had to use butter. I am so bummed...it's not like it's a really expensive ring , but my mom gave it to me and it has sentimental value..I've had it for over 10 years! I am going to take it to a jeweller and see if they can re-shape it...
One of the pics is a little blurry but just so you can get an idea of how bent out of shape it was...
The funny thing is, my finger is fine!!
