Vintage Blarney Stone Ring - Sterling silver English hallmarks wrap ring - Irish shamrock - good luck gift - Ireland ring size 7 1/3

Size 7 1/3 not 7 1/2.  This wonderful old piece of Irish history holds two shamrocks and a small green Blarney stone. It measures 6 1/4 and weighs 3.5 grams. I included some of the folklore of the Blarney stone. To kiss the Blarney Stone is said to bring about a charm on the kisser, to bestow upon them a silver tongue with which to spin tales and songs to mesmerize others. What makes this wives tale even more interesting is the fact that there IS an actual Blarney Stone, sitting atop Blarney castle, near the town of Blarney in Cork, Ireland. The stone is officially called the “Stone of Eloquence”, referring to the supernatural gift of tongues so many seek by kissing the stone.To kiss the stone requires visitors to suspend themselves over an open chasm upside down- a feat that resulted in one death when the youth attempting it lost his grip and fell to the roadside below. Now kissing the Blarney Stone is more of a team effort. The kisser lays down and lowers his body backwards into the chasm whilst holding a support bar, and a friend sits on his legs to keep him anchored firmly to the floor. This ring has been cleaned because it was as black as coal.  Size 7 1/3
