interlocking rings

Connected circular shapes

Interlocking rings are rings linked through each other so they cannot be separated without breaking one.

The image appears in logos, jewelry, and symbols—most famously the five Olympic rings representing continental unity.

In magic, linking rings appear to pass through each other impossibly.

Wedding or engagement rings sometimes interlock as a symbol of connection: She wore interlocking rings on a chain around her neck.
