More info: these rings go by different names: “faith ring”, “Fede ring” or “mani in fede ring” (meaning hands in trust). The ring of faith spread throughout Europe during the Middle Ages and remained popular for the next six centuries. Here, the hands represent friendship and the heart symbolizes love. Sometimes, a crown surmounts the heart, representing loyalty. It’s a jewel of sentiment, a ring sealing a union full of promise.
