Composed of multiple hoops that fit together. When the two hoops of this ring are connected, they form a bezel in the shape of two clasped right hands. This ring, known as a fede, has been used in love rings since Roman times. The clasping of right hands symbolises friendship, loyalty and harmony. Fede and gimmel rings were intended as betrothal or marriage rings. The individual rings could be divided between the betrothed couple and a close relative or friend before being reunited and presented as one ring during the wedding ceremony.

ABOUT THE ERA
Victorian Era Jewellery
Jewellery in the Victorian era (1837–1901), named after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, is notable for its diversity and reflection of the period's social, cultural, and technological changes.
This era can be divided into three distinct periods: the Early Victorian or Romantic period, the Mid-Victorian or Grand period, and the Late Victorian or Aesthetic period. Each phase had its own unique characteristics and influences on jewellery design.
