Witch ring

See our: witch rings.

A ring made with two golden wires that are twisted in contrary directions, and then soldered together. When spining the ring round its axis (turning around over the finger), it creates the optical illusion that the two soldered wires get divided.

This is the reason why these rings are called 'Witch' rings
