A gimmal ring, or gimmel ring, is a ring with two or three hoops or links that fit together to form one complete ring. The name gimmal comes from Latin gemellus, twin, via Old French. They were known as joint rings in Elizabethan England. In the 16th and 17th centuries, such rings were fashionable in England, Germany, and other countries, and were often used as betrothal rings. The engaged couple would wear one hoop each and rejoin them to use as a wedding ring. With triple link rings, a third person could witness the couple's vows and hold the third part of the ring until the marriage.

  • Une bague gimmel (ou gimmal), ou bague jumelle, est une bague avec deux ou trois anneaux qui s'emboîtent pour former un anneau complet. Aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, ces bagues étaient notamment à la mode en Angleterre et en Allemagne, et étaient souvent utilisées comme bagues de fiançailles. Les fiancés portaient chacun un anneau et les rejoignaient pour les utiliser comme alliance. Avec les triples anneaux, une tierce personne pouvait être témoin des vœux du couple et conserver le troisième anneau jusqu'au mariage. (fr)

  • A gimmal ring, or gimmel ring, is a ring with two or three hoops or links that fit together to form one complete ring. The name gimmal comes from Latin gemellus, twin, via Old French. They were known as joint rings in Elizabethan England. In the 16th and 17th centuries, such rings were fashionable in England, Germany, and other countries, and were often used as betrothal rings. The engaged couple would wear one hoop each and rejoin them to use as a wedding ring. With triple link rings, a third person could witness the couple's vows and hold the third part of the ring until the marriage. An early gimmal band, consisting of two interlocked rings sculpted to form a single ring, is to be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum, dated to 1350. Henry III of England met the Count of Gynes in 1202 and gave him a gimmal ring set with a ruby and two emeralds. Martin Luther wed Catherine Bora in 1525 with a gimmal ring inscribed "Whom God has joined together, Let no man put asunder". Around 1600, the gimmal ring began to sometimes incorporate the clasped hands of the fede ring and a third symbol, a heart, was added, sometimes with a third shank. Designs involving clasped hands, and sometimes a heart, remained popular after the Renaissance.Similar imagery is found on other love rings, including claddagh rings. The Benjamin Zucker collection in the Walters Museum in Baltimore contains two elaborate gimmal rings incorporating small hidden enameled sculptural details visible only when the bands are separated. By the late 18th century, multiple shanks of five or more were made, sometimes collected at the back by a pivot, so they hinged like a fan. (en)

Le nom « gimmel »/« gimmal » vient du latin gemellus (« jumeau ») via l'ancien français. Il y a plusieurs références aux bagues gimmel dans les pièces de William Shakespeare, à l'exemple d'Othello ou le Maure de Venise. (fr)
  • Кольцо Ги́ммель (англ. Gimmel Rings, joint-ring) — подвид «колец-головоломок» (англ. puzzle rings), использующийся в качестве обручального кольца.

Название кольца происходит от третьей буквы еврейского алфавита. В случае, когда соединение между кольцами образует рукопожатие, кольцо Гиммель может одновременно являться кольцом Феде; если, помимо рукопожатия, в элементах такого сборного кольца есть сердца, оно будет дублинской версией кладдаского кольца, если конструкция из двух сцепленных рук и сердца ещё и будет увенчана короной, такое кольцо будет одновременно являться классическим кладдаским кольцом.
