Victorian 18ct Gold Fede Ring with Hands & Hidden Heart

63W
80 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An 18ct gold rare Fede Gimmel ring from circa 1860-1880. It has three bands that open to reveal a heart pierced with an arrow mounted on to an inner serated band. The bands are joined together with a tiny pin that acts as a fulcrum or pivot enabling the bands to swivel, align and come together to form one ring to symbolise the union of two people. 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 fedeandrdquo” (hands in faith or trust), this style of ring was popular during the Renaissance and given as a token of betrothal.

Please note that this ring cannot be sized.
