History:
This Gaelic Ring which
is inscribed with the words, "Cuirle
mo ċroide," in the same archaic Gaelic script as the original,
was made in Dublin in the early 17th century.
Though recorded by scholars, the original poesy ring has been lost, or is
in an un-catalogued private collection. Gaelic inscriptions are relatively
rare since most poesy rings were engraved in old English, French or Latin.
As the detail of the original ring is not known, the inscription has been
placed on a simple modern ring shape. The poesy itself has remained
throughout the ages as a tribute to the passion of the Celtic people.
