Description
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.
See Ruseva-Slokoska, L. Roman Jewellery, Sofia, 1991 item 187 for discussion of ‘clasped hands’ motif in Roman contexts, introduced from the Eastern Empire. From a Dutch private collection Certificate of authenticity included.
