About the Item
A cameo a pair of clasped hands in amethyst in gold collet settings.

Size 7 1/2
Weight: 5.31gr.
The clasping of the right hands of a betrothed couple was a gesture of loyalty and mutual accord, following the agreement of a marriage contract.
In Roman times the right hand was sacred to Fides, the goddess of trust and good faith. The clasping of the right hands of a betrothed couple was a gesture of loyalty and mutual accord, following the agreement of a marriage contract. The clasping of the right hands was a symbolic gesture of the union of the bride and bridegroom, but not part of a wedding ceremony. The wreath depicted above the clasped hands alludes to the bride wearing during the wedding celebration a wreath consisting of herbal flowers. For further details on wedding rituals during the Roman period, see: Beatriz Chadour-Sampson, The Power of Love, Jewels Romance and Eternity, London 2019, p. 15.
