Where can I find a Claddagh ring in Ithaca, NY?
I've looked at places online but I prefer to buy the ring in person and doubt I find in my hometown of Horseheads. I went to college in Ithaca, and I thought that somewhere in Ithaca could be a Celtic or Irish store to buy Claddagh ring, at a reasonable price. I am looking for a size 5 1 / 2. If you know a store here in Ithaca please let me know, or if you happen to know where I can find one in Horseheads, NY too that would be great. Thank you.
You really should consider buying online, where you can purchase directly Ireland. I bought mine allcladdagh.com. Not only was sent from Ireland, but the ring is stamped "Made in Spain." In addition, all jewelry of gold in Ireland must be stamped with a government official marking which guarantees the purity of gold. So if the website says that the ring is 14k gold, you can be sure. That not so in the U.S., where to buy a gold ring, you basically have to accept the word of jewelry already on the gold content, unless you pay with the ring appraised. My 14k white gold Claddagh ring was $ 392. Also ordered a silver ring for $ 40. Most sizes are available, including a 5 1 / 2. If you do not like your purchase, you can always return it for a refund within 30 days.
are these the same ring?

they look the same to me but the last one that did everybody thought was totally different so i thought i'd check this one
the kay one looks much darker in person
he wants the design to be barely visible - he likes it very simple
i've already gone through sales with them - that ring never goes on sale
They are similar but not the same. The Ebay one has more of a gap between each "link" design. The Kay one is nicely engraved and looks more like "fine jewelry" whereas the Ebay one looks like a fashion ring from Hot Topic. Of course the first one is much more money. I'd go with the Kay one if you can afford it. I don't trust Ebay for jewelry and things like that. But, it depends on what your budget is.
Since your wedding isn't for a year, I would suggest keeping at eye on sales at Kay (they have a couple big sales during the course of the year) and pounce on it when it goes on sale!
We bought our wedding bands during the holiday season (different jeweler). They had half off. His ring was originally $1200, but I got it for $600. 
Remember, he only gets one ring whereas you get two... make his nice!
