An unusual 18ct gold ring that was made circa 1820. In the middle is a heart with a keyhole. On either side is a hand that holds the heart. Each wrist has a little star motif that you often find on Georgian chains. This style of ring goes back to Roman times if not before. It is known as a \u201cfede\u201d ring which is a design of ring in which two hands meet and are clasped in friendship, love or betrothal. It became prominent in the medieval period from the 12th century onwards and in more modern times. The name fede is from the Italian phrase \u201cmani in fede\u201d or \u201chands clasped in faith\u201d. This ring is slightly different but has an added sweet meaning as the heart with keyhole (The key to my heart) accentuates love and devotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
