C1850 Hands Clasping Heart Fede Ring w carved enamel star

About the Item

The hands bearing a gift motif is an example of the romanticism that flourished in the 20th century. Our 18K fede ring reveals two delicately carved hands coming together clasping a bejeweled heart ("the gift of my heart"), with a single old cut diamond embedded in a carved star. The clasped hands originated with the Romans in early AD and were revived throughout the renaissance and 18th and 19th centuries. Notice the masterful hand-work of this ring, exemplified by the detail of the open circle showing gap between fingers and thumb; the ever so slight carved line on the band to indicate a sleeve; the delicate enamel work on the incised heart; and of course, those beautiful carved hands. Such details reveal the masterful hand-work of an early 19th century goldsmith. If a hand carved early romantic ring is what you are looking for, this is the ring for you. The perfect ring for a special anniversary gift. The ring is US size 8.25.
