History: The history of the gimmel ring goes back to at least the 12th century. The fede gimmel is the result of its slow evolution from a two band form to three incorporating the fede symbol of hands clasped over a hidden single or double heart. A timeless symbol of regard and deeply held feeling for another, and popular since Medieval times as a symbolic way to mark the commitment of two lovers to the strength of a single pledge.
