A three colour gold triple ‘Russian wedding band’ ring, the three varying coloured bands entwined, stamped ‘750’ for 18ct gold, ring size L-M. £180-240

The term “Russian wedding ring”, used for three interlocking rings of varying shades of gold, originates from 19th century Russian tradition, when this trio design became a popular wedding ring option, the three bands symbolising the Holy Trinity of Christian orthodox religion (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
