I'm wondering if the design of the claddagh rings are copyrighted. I don't mean a specific ring, but the whole concept of the crown, heart and hands. I am guess no as otherwise there wouldn't be tons of jewellery designers designing their own rings?

That's what I thought. Cool, then I can draw my own version without having some weirdo sue me. My Photo Website -

I'm a 3rd generation Irish but never lived in the Old Country. My great-great grandparents were born in Ireland and my great grandparents were pure Irish, but my fore bearers have pretty well polluted the blood line since then. Gear List
