Rings

Jul 01, 2007 11:55

So, inspired by this post by tamnonlinear, I've been thinking a lot this morning about the meaning of rings. I wear this one on my left middle finger (see picture below). The Eternity knot is a symbol of never-ending love apparently.





On my right hand I wear a Claddagh on my middle finger with the heart pointing out (see picture below) and a plain silver band on my ring finger. You can sort of see the silver band in a picture from this post, but it's a pretty graphic picture, so click at your own risk.





I guess that it's really and truly true. I'm a romantic at heart. :)

Reference:
Claddagh Rings - Wikipedia
- The Original Claddagh Ring from the Royal Claddagh Store, Ireland. THE store for the original design/pattern of the rings. They also have a good detailed story about the origin of the ring.
- Claddagh Rings & Claddagh Ring have a nice selection of rings for sale.
