I wanted to tell you that I received my order today. I was a little nervous about buying online and from Ireland. I wanted to let you know how thrilled and pleased I am with my order. I will not hesitate to tell people of your website. Celeste Snyder, USA - (Dec 2002)
Excellent! This was my first international puchase and I have to say that as an Irish company - you have lived up to your worldwide reputation :D Tracey Reed, USA - (Dec 2002)
Just wanted to let you know that my husband's wedding band arrived Thursday and the fit was perfect! Wishing you and every one else at Des Byrne a wonderful and blessed holiday season. N.I. Thompson, South Africa - (Dec 14 2004)
I was lucky enough to be the winner of the two Claddagh watches a short time ago and have been very remiss in contacting you. My late grand-mother is probably spinning in her grave as she always taught me that for any gift received one should reply within 24 hours in writing to the sender, thanking them. Hopefully she will accept my E-mailing you instead of a letter. I gave the mens watch to my father who is absolutely thrilled with it as he is very proud of his Irish ancestry. He now sticks his wrist under the nose of everyone he meets and lectures them on the claddagh !! My wife received the ladies watch and true to female romanticism was most impressed with the explanation of the meaning of the claddagh which she was not aware of. I must make mention of my suprise at the speed with which you reacted once the winner was drawn. The package was received here in South Africa very,very quickly and was certainly the fastest response I have had to despatch of any item I have ever ordered over the Internet. Keep up the good work Yvette Shore, New Zealand - (Dec 14 2004)
It is only seven days since I received your 'congratulations' email and already today , your wonderful Claddagh watches arrived from all the way across the world to me here in New Zealand. What a lovely surprise to come home to at 8.30 tonight after an out of town conference. That's what I call real efficiency. I am absolutely thrilled.
Since, winning, I have drooled over your website at the beautiful Claddagh pieces you have available and have told 'everyone' about them. I hope that you will get many more visitors from this part of the world to your site and that they too, all become as enchanted with your jewellery as I am. Yvette Shore, New Zealand - (Dec 14 2004)
(Post her annual Runner-Up Prize) A few moments ago the courier arrived at my door with a parcel from Ireland. This took just six days to arrive from across the world to New Zealand. Inside was the beautiful Gold Puffed Heart Extra Heavy Claddagh ring that you so generously awarded me as runner up in your competition. It fits perfectly and I can't believe how incredibly flattering it is on the hand. The website image just doesn't do it justice. The gold is a beautiful rich warm colour; and the ring looks and feels solid and luxurious. Although it could never be called 'flashy', it is the sort of ring that you would see someone wearing and ask about - it looks like it has a story behind it. Better still is the way it looks and makes your whole hand look when you wear it. It is a wonderfully flattering - the sort of ring you want to wear all the time.
I am thrilled and thoroughly recommend the Claddagh ring to anybody , anywhere in the world, visiting your website who wants something really special either for themselves, or as a gift It is obvious why it is considered the perfect token of love or friendship.
Thank you so much! I shall treasure it. Cheryl Moulton, USA - (Dec 14 2004)
I was the very lucky winner of the Sept02 draw, and I was so thrilled when the watches arrived. I gave the mans' watch to my Mum.....why? because as it has a larger face, it was easier for her to read....thank you so much you are gems yourself! Tom Shoeck, Feb 2004 - (Dec 14 2004)
Hi, Ken
I received the two watches on Tuesday, and they're great!
Many thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for the two wonderful Claddagh watches. They arrived yesterday and they are beautiful. I gave one to my wife and the other to my teenage son. Both of them are absolutely thrilled and are now proudly wearing them to work and school, respectively. Your contest was a terrific idea and a lot of fun. Thank you so much for having it.

My lovely necklace arrived today. It is absolutely gorgeous - just what I wanted.It is a special present from my husband and I will treasure it always. Thank you for all your help in making my first internet shopping experience run smoothly (I had heard so many horror stories I was a little apprehensive) Joyce Wilson, New Zealand - (Dec 13 2004)
Thank you so much for your web camera on O'Connell Bridge. We live in New Zealand and have a daughter living and working in Dublin. When I found your website, I told her about it and arranged a time for her to be on the bridge. It was so exciting seeing her in Dublin. We talked to her on her cellphone at the same time, it was very exciting. She sent me a claddagh brooch for Christmas and I found your site while I was trying to find out about the claddagh. I have told lots of people about your site Thomas Brennan, USA - (Dec 13 2004)
