Table of contents

This was a visible symbol of an engagement contract with legal implications beyond the vows of love.

Gimmel Ring

Two hands, separated, then joined in marriage, were often part of the design. Rings with three hoops could take this further, with a heart on one ring being held by the hands from the other two when all were fitted together. This image was also used on non-gimmel types, like the claddagh ring. A heart split in two while the two hoops were separate was another design well-liked in the s and s. Gems were cut to suit, with each lover having a fine jewel, but an incomplete heart, until the wedding.

How It Works: Puzzle Ring Assembly

Separate, regularly cut jewels were also used without any heart motif. Skeletons or other memento mori reminder of death symbols were sometimes included, odd though it may seem to us. Sometimes the rings had poetic mottos engraved inside, as did many single rings. What does it mean for the man to wear a ring while betrothed, then hand it over to the woman on marriage? How does it compare with our custom of the woman alone wearing an engagement ring, while wedding bands are often worn by both partners in a marriage?

Rings worn by their wives, of course.
