Medieval wedding ring called “ring of faith”.
Extremely rare “ring of faith” (“fede”, committed faith) in silver from the medieval period, still showing traces of the old mercury gilding which covered it. The kitten is made up of two joined hands (“junctio dextrarum”) as a beading. These “faith” rings were used as wedding rings. They date back to Roman iconography, but the oldest listed medieval model dates back to the end of the 12th century (Treasury of Lark Hill in England). The model lasted until the 19th century. In our example, the finesse of the details, the quatrefoils on the shoulders, the shape of the ring and the type of gilding allow us to date it to the 13th – 15th century.
