`  :: In fact my recent work here at Pinky ring shows Prince Leopold (I plead guilty for that one but have excellent refs). I have heard it said quite a bit that he was wearing a Claddagh on there someplace in that stack of rings, but my OR showed me Leopold was not wearing a Claddagh ring. I have never in my life read a source that claims Queen Victoria wore a Claddagh - but I know Queen Elizabeth doesn't wear one either.~© `
