Jewish Betrothal ring…a prized memento
17th or 19th century, Eastern European or Italian Gold, enamel
Inside hinged gold ornament: Hebrew letters for the words Mazel Tov (Good Luck)
Evidence suggests that examples such as this one were exchanged during Italian Jewish weddings. The groom would place it on the bride’s finger, but after the ceremony the ring would have been kept as a prized memento by either the family or the temple community.
