it's an oldie and a goodie and may very well date to the victorian era, but let's hedge our bets and guess that it's more recent. in the style of a fede gimmel ring these two thin pipe cut bands fit together like puzzle pieces, though the bands are very slightly out of alignment with one another
they're full of potential symbolism: partnership, friendship, commitment, assistance, deals done
the bands (and hands) are very thin by design, designed to be stacked between other bands, and at one time the bands were soldered together to add structure and strength, but that eliminated its party trick of being two bands in one, so that decision was reversed and the two bands are once again separated from each other
unmarked solid 18k yellow gold with some solder seams with lower karats

in good very vintage condition
these bands are thin, which leads to warbles in the and bends in the bands, so they aren't perfectly flat/level or in line with one another
these bands have been re-worked and repaired several times resulting in solder seams that are slightly rosier and lower karat than the 18k
hands easily fit together, but when they're joined the bands aren't perfectly aligned/overlapping
