This captivating ring bridges centuries of devotion and artistry. Originally crafted between 1400–1600 AD in a coppery silver alloy, its hand-shaped “Fede” (fidelity or faith) motif symbolized loyalty, trust, and the unbreakable bonds of commitment. Rings like this sealed vows and love stories throughout medieval Europe, cherished as tokens of both affection and solemn promise. Single-hand fede rings are exceptionally scarce—most medieval examples feature clasped pairs—making this piece a truly uncommon survivor of its kind.
The striking hand design has been thoughtfully reimagined for today. The historic cupped hand now cradles a 0.11ct bezel-set old mine diamond, while the ring shank features 0.52 total carats of vibrant green garnet cabochons, set in warm 18k yellow gold. Part of the original medieval shank is ingeniously embedded into the new gold band—honoring centuries of history with an ingenious comfortable fit.
A true conversation piece, the Hand-in-Hand Ring melds ancient symbolism, radiant gemstones, and modern design into a wearable relic—inviting you to carry love’s legacy, hand in hand, wherever you go.
