Early 19th Century Fede Ring set with Turquoise & a Diamond

989W
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

The fede ring has a long history dating back to antiquity. The major hallmark of this type of ring is the motif of two hands traditionally one female and the other male, clasped together. Known from the original Italian “mani in fede” (hands in faith and trust), this style of ring was popular during the Renaissance and was given as a token of betrothal.

This ring features the hands but also has a Forget me not flower in the centre set with five turquoise and a tiny rose diamond. This also send the message to “Forget me not”

What a charming engagement or dress ring.

Ollys Pick

This ring is a particularly good example of a Fede ring.
