This invention relates to finger ring conthey will snugly receive the ring A between structions and the primary object is to prothem when the latter is inserted upwardly vide a combination ring wherein two rings as indicated in Fig. 3. In addition to the such as a wedding ring and an engagement connecting section 7 the bands and 6 are 5 ring, while separate and separable units, are further connected by a pair of small con- 50 so formed that they will interlock, one with nected links 8 and 9, that may be of any size the other, in substantially a single unit, or shape but are here shown as heart shaped when worn together upon the finger.
