Sign us up!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFede rings or Gimmel rings have been around since the Roman times when they were called \"\u003cem\u003edextrarum iunctio\" \u003c\/em\u003emeaning joined right hands and as you can see by this ring, they are indeed joined right hands. This ring has become synonymous with love and marriage as fede literally means trust or fidelity in Italian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chunky vintique example likely hails from the end of the use of 15ct gold thanks to those trust hallmarks. The use of 15ct gold was limited - 1854-1932 - and one of the reasons why we love it so much - its scarcity. This gorgeous ring has great finger coverage and is low profile plus it is marvellously comfortable - like a fabulous hug of gold. The carvings on the ring suggest the initial carvings have been re-done - to ensure the hands remained clear - and we love how meaningful this ring must have been to past owners. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is sizeable - but we are aware this would need to be done in another carat of gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticulars: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize 7.5 or just over O1\/2 (sizeable - but would probably be 14ct gold as 15ct gold was stopped in 1932)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight 4.24g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWidth 9.5mm x 2mm proud tapering to 3.2mm x 1mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHallmarks  \"15CT\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCondition - some surface marks and wear as expected with age.
