14ct Gold, Rare Vintage, Fede/Gimmel Opening Ring

This is a very special vintage Fede ring!  Crafted from solid 14ct Gold (not marked but tested) it features two hands, joined together in union, which open up into interlocking rings. 

What makes this one fiarly unusual is the fact that these are ladies hands; with ruby encrusted cuffs and ruby red nails. 

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 S, which is a US size 9.  It weighs 9.72g of 14ct Gold and is in excellent vintage condition.  I would date it to the 1950s.
