Height: 2.1 cm - Width: 1.8 cm Late 18th century/early 19th century, 1798-1809 Weight: 4 g (slight impact on the ring) This type of ring, whose model is based on antiquity, reappeared in the 12th century and remained very popular for at least six hundred years, adapting to different trends. The two hands joined together or the two hands holding a heart like here are the symbol of a deep attachment that usually leads to engagement or marriage. It is to this type of ring that Shakespeare refers in The Storm when Ferdinando declares "This is my hand" and Miranda answers him "This is mine, and who holds my heart". Book consulted: D. Scarisbrick, Jewelry-Rings of Power, Love and Loyalty, London, 2007.
