What you’ll find

What Thomas Dillon's Claddagh Gold is known for

Trading from Quay Street since 1750, this is the workshop that first cast the Claddagh ring, and a small back-room museum shows some of the oldest surviving examples. The family still makes rings, brooches and pendants in sterling silver and 9, 14 and 18 carat gold.
