Posie rings give a rustic, hand-engraved look. It is possible to replicate the look of Posie rings.

The styles, origins and customs originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh in Galway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The distinctive style and availability of Claddagh ring designs make them a popular variation of a promise ring. To explain the design, each ring features a heart (love), a crown (loyalty) and hands (representing friendship).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rings-capturing-your-very-own-heartbeat\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rings capturing your very own heartbeat<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How incredible would it be to obtain your actual heartbeat rhythm in the ring?
