    Gold wedding rings became especially prominent in the 3rd and 4th century. During this period, gold rings became more elaborate and sumptuous, an indication of an owner’s wealth, as well as craftsman’s skill. The most common type of ring associated with Roman marriages was the ”Fede” ring, which had a design showing a pair of clasped hands or an entwined couple.
