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”.

Why You'll Love It:
- This ring is such a great conversation piece, and
- Once worn, the hands stay clasped, and the heart is only visible when taken off.
- Upon closer inspection, we realized the cuffs on each side are actually different - one is a traditional gentleman's cuff, and the other is smaller (most likely representing the woman) with some lace patterning.
