Victorian Sterling Silver Fede Gimmel Ring (6.5)

A gimmel or gimmal ring (also called fede) is a type of promise ring exchanged by lovers which was popularized in the Victorian Era (1870s-1890s). This piece is considered sentimental jewelry and would have been given as a token of one's affection, “With my hands, I give you my heart to hold”.
