So I snuck out for a couple hours on Easter and managed to score this BEAUTIFUL Gimmel ring. I had never heard of these before I found this. Doing the research on it was pretty fun. Apparently these type of rings started up in the 1500's, later in the 1700's the Irish Claddagh rings came about.

I think the concept is pretty neat, the man and the women would wear one half of it until their wedding day. Then the two halves would be pinned together and the women would wear it as their wedding band.

Here's link with more information:
The History of Gimmel Rings

While searching around I found two different identical listings for this ring, one for $225 and one for $260, not that I'll be selling this. My wife has already "allowed" me to bring it to my next club meeting to show off, then it's hers! :)

Enjoy
