Description

Warm and detailed Unisex Edwardian Fede Ring, Circa 1890.  This type of ring only comes around in our dreams! This piece is sure to be a conversation starter!

The fede ring, from the Italian phrase "mani di fede," is distinguished by the figure of two hands (clasped in faith, per the translation) that has come to represent friendship, love, or engagement.

The style of ring rose in popularity in medieval times, and was a popular choice for engagement rings and wedding bands for hundreds of years.

Finely handcrafted in  carat yellow gold and a lightly modelled form, this ring is comfortable and easy to wear, while a broad face and slim band draw the eye.

This ring would make a perfectly charming friendship or promise ring, wedding band, or even a piece to serve as a reminder to hold faith in yourself.

From ancient Roman times through the sentimental Georgian and Victorian eras, hands have held many messages. Fede rings were often used as tokens of affection and exchanged as engagement/wedding rings to demonstrate the beautiful sentimental connection between two lovers.

The ring is in excellent condition for a piece of antique jewellery of 100+ years old, with minor signs of wear commensurate with age and use.

Rings of this type are highly collectable and are sought after worldwide.

Steeped in English history this would make a unique and fabulous addition to your jewellery collection.

Looks fabulous when worn and is a beautiful statement piece.
