Sterling Silver, Rare Antique, Fede/Gimmel Opening Ring

This is a very special vintage Fede ring!  Crafted from solid silver, it features two hands, joined together in union, which open to reveal a sweet silver heart heart.

The meaning of 'Fede' is best described from the Latin phrase, “mani in fede,” which means hands clasped in faith'. It was symbolic of faith and trust - and was used as an engagement ring. In celtic areas, the same ring was called a Gimmel (twins) ring.
 
This ring is currently a UK size O 1/2, which is a US size 7 1/2.  It weighs 3.66g of Sterling Silver and is in excellent condition.
