All auctions / Jewelry & Gems / Romantic Platinum Ring, Made in Our Workshop
In earlier times, jewellery always had a meaning and transported a message. Rings with two interlocking right hands, for example, were already symbols of love and friendship in ancient times. They are still known today in goldsmithing under the term "fede" rings, from the Italian "mani in fede" (roughly: "hands in faith"). These rings were gifts between lovers and were meant to express your togetherness. In the Renaissance this motif was taken up again. Some early examples have been preserved in the museums of arts and crafts, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, for example, holds a small selection that you should definitely see. A fine example is the ring with inventory number M204-1975 from the 15th century. Looking for beautiful inspirations for our goldsmiths, we liked the idea of the rings with two hands not least because they are so readily apparent and speaking. So, inspired by historic fede rings, our goldsmith designed and made a ring that we offer in yellow gold, rose gold and platinum. Here is one ring made of platinum. You can find all other variations at this link. The ring can be worn by both men and women. It is suitable as a wedding ring, engagement ring or friendship ring because of its design, but also the content meaning.
