FREE: Antique Gimmel Ring

The listing, Antique Gimmel Ring has ended.

Betrothal Gimmel silver ring. the same ring sold on etsy for 120.00 It is a size 8 or 9 very nice ring in perfect shape, It passes the magnet test. I have only saw 1 of these in my life. There is a lot of glare in the pictures. The ring is pure silver.

For all of you who like secret message jewelry, you’ll love this. This is a called a “gimmel” ring. It has 3 rings that are attached. The middle ring is a heart, The outside two rings are 2 hands clasped together.

They’re closely related to “fede” rings, which take the form of two clasped hands, and were used as betrothal rings for centuries dating back to antiquity. The central heart motif started to make an appearance in designs around the 16th century (you’ll also recognize this imagery in claddagh rings), and the style continued to be popular through the 19th century. This ring is a lovely Victorian example.

Although this ring is antique it looks brand new, and would make a wonderful Christmas present. The pictures never took well so it is hard to show exactly how nice the ring really is.

All Listia rules apply, and only verified address's please. I am also going to add a surprise with this that is really nice. I had to start the bidding off at 5000 as this ring is worth a lot.

If you use GIN , I will include 2 Hard Candy makeup Items and an extra piece of jewelery with it :))
