You'll find various forms of wool, blends, cashmere... make sure to ask an employee for more information. I ended up purchasing real Irish wool scarves (slightly itchy), softest wool scarf, and a wool sheep toy. The items smelled like a farm lol, but the best way to discard the smell was to air them out. After purchase , you're given specific instructions on how to care for your Irish wool products. Note: Get a tax refund at the airport, with any purchase of 75 Euros or more at a merchant store. Ask for the refund document from the cashier.

The marketing at other chain stores is much better- but the quality at this store is second to none. The store is less than interesting when you walk in, but once you look at the quality and craftsmanship of the sweaters, you quickly realize how genuinely amazing. These sweaters are better than any I've found in years of hunting. The labels state which craftsman knit the sweater and Anne (the owner) will gladly recount stories of each family and knitter. Anne values the history and integrity of each piece and this was of the utmost importance to me. She was willing to have custom pieces made to order as well, which might be valuable to some. I truly think this spot is the best in Ireland.

I found a lovely Claddagh ring that was a more delicate style than is traditional, but it was in yellow gold, not white gold, which is what I usually wear. No worries - I was told they could custom make one for me in white gold and mail it. After checking for proper size, I ordered the ring, paid for it, including shipping, and returned home and waited. The ring arrived May 22, and I was so excited, only to open the box and find they sent the same ring - in yellow gold - that I had tried on! The receipt clearly states, "9k white gold Claddagh ring". I emailed the shop right away, get detailed instructions for returning the ring, including how to handle customs paperwork. After 3 trips to 2 different post offices (no one seemed to know how to handle the customs form), and at a cost of over $70, I was finally able to return it. And then I waited. On August 3, I reached out to the shop inquiring as to the status, and they tell me they did not receive the ring. I checked the shipping QR code and it appeared that the ring was being returned to me! Sure enough, I received the same ring back. Apparently, the ring was sitting in Customs in Ireland from June 23 to August 1. Per customs documents, the package cleared customs, so it seems Claddagh Jewellers dropped the ball yet again. I reached out to the shop, and they wanted me to return the ring; stating that they'd provide a pre-paid label (why didn't they do that when I was returning the wrong ring, which was completely their mistake?). So basically, they want me to return the ring, trusting that after they screwed up twice, this time they'll get it right. If I do that, they will have my money and the ring I purchased and I will be left with nothing except a very bad taste in my mouth over the whole ordeal, and no shred of hope that I will get the proper ring that I ordered. There are many purveyors of Claddagh rings in Galway; I wish that I had gone to Thomas Dillon.

Eating a fabulous meal at Dock 1 restaurant in Galway, one of the servers to come by the table had…read morethis beautiful compass necklace on. I really liked it so I complimented her on it. She happens to also work at a shop that sells the necklace and told my friend and I where we can get one. She even called the store for us and let us know there was only one in stock in sliver, hers that I liked was in gold. We walked over to the shop and ended up spending more time in there than we thought! Such beautiful jewelry! I almost changed my mind to a different necklace that said "Success" on it, but ended up going back to my original compass necklace which is what brought us there. My friend and I tried on various different pieces and really we could've spent all of our money here! Needless to say about 400 euro later between the two of us, we left. And she said that she would ship the compass necklace to me since I wanted gold and it wasn't at the store at the time. How fantastic! I was so happy that I could get what I wanted and I'll be eagerly awaiting it in the mail. It's important that I mention this is really a local flavor shop as everything inside is made by Ireland artisans. It's great to get authentic things while traveling rather than items that aren't made from the local area. And that it also supports those locals by spending money on their items. The doggie there is funny, kind of a ornery old bat but still sweet, she'd bark if she heard kids outside. You'd think it's fine as long as they weren't in the store but nope, keep it quiet kids! I pet her several times, so she was also very sweet. Stop in the store while in Galway! Pick up some small art, nicknacks, and especially some jewelry!! If you're able to get the Fexco Horizon card, definitely use the receipt here so you can get some of the tax back for your purchase - www.shoptaxfree.com

And, they seemed extreme, the "cheaper ones" were not necessarily Silver and almost seemed like Aluminum foil, and really flimsy. And, some of the other designs at other shops seemed over price, and too high for my price point. But, we walked around and went to several shops, and luckily stumbled upon this *GEM*. It was a little more intimate, and NOT as much like a. Conveyer belt/assembly line-like feel. My husband and I were the only ones in the shop, and the salesperson/shop attendant was very attentive and sized my ring for me.
