Just ordered my wife a 'last minute' gift a few days before Valentine's Day. I wasn't expecting it to be arriving a few days before V-day but it did. Then I thought, perhaps it's not really coming from Ireland. Looked at the FedEx carrier log and sure enough...this gift came direct from Dublin. I should mention the wife loved the bracelet and loved that it came from our friends in Ireland. We are both 3rd-4th generation Irish and value the selection and importance of what My Irish Jeweler has to offer. These are real folks offering outstanding quality jewelry. They are tuned into their customers in the States, as I've never had an issue and if I did, I'm sure Peter would find a way to remedy the issue. I will shop again with confidence when the next important occasion arrives...god willing. K. J. Gillece
