This ring is perfect as a wedding or friendship ring for reenactment, living history, or everyday. This is a a posy ring "Harbor the Harmles Hert" in a fede motif and to which Shakespeare refers to in The Tempest (III, ii, 89-90), when Ferdinando says 'Here's my hand' and Miranda replies 'And mine with my heart in it.'

I currently only have what is left in the drop down menu.

These are considered associated with love, friendship, and marriage. Rings in the time period were not always worn on the "ring finger," but were also worn on the "index finger." They are also defined as a gimmal ring which is essentially two or three loops linked together to form one complete ring.

The motif was interpreted in two designs for fede rings published by the goldsmith Pierre Woeiriot in his Livre d'aneaux d'orfevrerie (Lyons 1561): one shows the hands firmly grasped by the thumbs, and one has them lying cradled one within the other, both supported by projecting volutes carried by herms at the shoulders. An unusual variant is recorded in Hungary with the two hands holding two interlaced rings with the letters S above and B below, crowned and enameled in black and white. My version is the first style described and reproduced based upon an original I own.

One side shows a lady's cuff, and other a man's. It is really a great ring.

The last photo is of my 1930's reproduction of an original (which does not have the heart center) which is what this ring is based upon.
