Ring ensemble

Abstract

This invention relates to a mechanism for engaging two rings such as to prevent rotation and pivoting while being worn on a finger. The mechanism of this invention also allows the rings to be displayed on a pedestal, such as found in jewelry stores, without the rings losing alignment. The engaging mechanism is presented in the shape of a romantic symbol appropriate to the ring set and also provides a visually appealing effect when one ring is worn alone.
