Early Victorian 15ct Gold, Heart Shaped Fede Ring set with a Ruby & Rose Diamonds

99Y
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

The fede ring has a long history dating back to antiquity. The major hallmark of this type of ring is the motif of two hands traditionally one female and the other male, clasped together. Known from the original Italian “mani in fede” (hands in faith and trust), this style of ring was popular during the Renaissance and given as a token of betrothal. There was a revival in the Georgian and early Victorian period of this lovely style and this 15ct gold ring features a heart set with a heart shaped pigeon blood ruby surrounded by rose diamonds that further emphasises love between two people. It was assayed in Birmingham in 1864.

A special ring to give to someone that you love.
