Description

Connemara Marble by Gerard Napkin Rings.
NOTE: The rings pictured are the ones you will get from choosing its stock number, number 1.
Gerard is a second-generation master stone cutter, known for his Connemara marble offerings. Also, he has Cork Red, Ulster White, and Kilkenny Black marble in worry stones and beads, which we carry.
A superb gift, even if you are not Irish, because this marble is extraordinary in its beauty! No picture can ever do it justice. It is called a 'proud' marble, meaning extremely hard. In fact, it is supposed to be the hardest marble in the world, which makes its carving even more difficult!
Hand Carved, this marble is quarried in County Galway, in the 12 Bens, a mountain region of the Connemara. The marble is MILLIONS of years old [750-900 million is one common estimate].....giving a whole new meaning to its being 'as old as the hills'! [A feeble attempt at humor]. Remember, part of the unique qualities of this marble is that no two can ever be identical, therefore slight variations will occur in the color, thickness, and height. [Height and thickness variation is very slight.]
These are brand new, directly [to us] from Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland, Gerard's place of business.
Very tough to describe the colors and nuances of the marble.
NOTE: None are exact matches for each other in this listing, but VERY close. Often the thickness of the ring is different, and sometimes the height varies by a tad. We do our best to make sets of similar rings....
