Fede rings, derived from the Italian "mani in fede" meaning "hands in faith," are a significant symbol in jewelry. They feature two clasped hands, representing loyalty, faith, and the unbreakable bond between two people. Historically, these rings were used in medieval and Renaissance Europe as betrothal and wedding rings, symbolizing a promise of love and fidelity. The design, with hands joined in a handshake, conveys a deep trust and mutual respect, making fede rings enduring symbols of commitment and unity in relationships.
