I've acquired a claddagh, at long last

The claddagh is a traditional Celtic symbol of love, loyalty, and friendship.

Irish, to be precise. (Had to look it up; couldn't decide whether the word was Scottish or Irish. It certainly isn't Welsh).

Indeed. I prefer to be less precise, because in saying that it's Celtic I'm implying a connection between it and myself - that there is not so much difference between the Irish and the Scots. ;) Although I have some circumstantial evidence that suggests I might be of both Irish and Scottish ancestry, in the meantime I just brush with broader strokes.

The Irish and Scots were originally from the same ethnic stock. The Scots were originally Gaelic speakers who emigrated to Scotland from Ireland.

(Which is why the Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic languages are similar).

I have a little of each in my heritage, along with a large chunk of Welsh.

I know quite a few people who have those.

I had a very nice claddagh, which decided to leap off my finger in a move that decidedly broke my poor little heart and made me apologize profusely to the person who gave it to me. He forgave me, and shall seek to aquire one that fits better. :)

they're pretty little rings. I like them.
