Well, does anyone? (Just thought I'd ask)

That's the ring that Angel gave to Buffy on the series, in case you were wondering.

I do. It was bought at a convention.

Why yes! As much of a Buffy/Angel/Firefly geek as I am I gave a claddagh ring to my beautiful girlfriend on our six month anniversary. I got it here. < http://www.celticlinks.com/cgi-bin/cl/90046.html> enjoy!

Yes, I have one. I got it because I'm Irish, and it's an Irish thing. The heart represents love, the crown loyalty, and the hands holding means friendship...just thought you'd like to know.

I have a claddadh ring. I've tried putting it on the floor to see if a naked Angel would fall from some hell demention, but so far--no luck... ;)

I have a really pretty one that i bought for $6 at a cart in the mall. It's smallish, silver, and has a crystal heart. I love it and would love to find a better quality version of the same ring. I've looked at others and haven't like the proportions of the claddagh itself, guess i'll have to stick with my cheap one.

I don't have one, but a friend from college does. She explained that the way you wear (Crown pointed in or Crown pointed out)it indicates if you're betrothed or not. I just forget which is which.

Had one once but the person connected with it was unworthy.

I've got one. I bought one from a vender somewhere between Grafton and Temple Bar last year. I don't know why I bought it. Probably because I thought someone might like it, but I never gave it away. I bought three Celtic cross necklaces there as well, but I gave all those away.

I've had my sterling silver claddagh ring since 1985.
I've only met a few people who know what it is.
I didn't know Angel gave one to Buffy.

I had a claddagh ring once but I lost. It was a perfect one too! Some rings that I found look all deformed looking. I miss it so much.

I have a claddagh ring, a gold one and it looks the exact same as the one Angel gave to Buffy actually. But I didn't get it cause of BTVS, my mother gave it to me when I was 8 because I'm like 97% Irish and my father gave it to her as their engagement ring, After they divorced when I was 3 my mother put it away somewhere and she didn't find it again till after my 8th birthday and she gave it to me. I like it because I think it's a good representation of my Irish background, I hate it because it is a memoir of my father.

I think Claddagh rings are so cute!
I was reading in the argos catalogue and it said it means

"I give you my heart with both hands and crown it with my love"

I thought that was such a beautiful description, i had to buy one lol!

for all the UK peeps, they do sell them in Argos for quite a good price xx

I bought mine at a renaissance faire some years ago. People often ask me if I'm a BtVS fan when they notice it. (I'm not)

But I do have an Irish background, and love the meaning behind the ring. Would love to get a real one in Ireland the next time I go to the UK.

Yep, I have one. It was my engagement ring to my ex-fiance... I still wear it even though we are no longer together, but its on my right hand and Heart is out. Its platinum with a Peridot stone (my birth stone).
