A handle assembly for attaching a decorative handle to a turning stem is disclosed. The handle assembly comprises a handle body having a side wall and a top wall defining a hollow interior open at the bottom. A shaped aperture extends through the top wall of the handle body and is in communication with the hollow interior. An insert having a top portion and a shaped body portion of cross-sectional configuration, such as octagonal cross-section, complementary to the cross-sectional configuration of the shaped aperture extending through the top wall of the handle body is press-fit into the aperture with a section of the shaped body portion extending above the aperture. A decorative ring is disposed on top of the handle body. The ring has a shaped opening extending therethrough. The shaped opening is of a cross-sectional configuration, such as octagonal cross-section, complementary to the cross-sectional configuration of the section of the shaped body portion extending above the aperture in the top wall of the handle body. The section of the shaped body portion extending above the aperture is press-fit into the shaped opening in the ring. The insert is non-rotatably secured by a fastener to a faucet stem disposed in the hollow interior of the handle body. A cap, disposed on top of the ring, is secured to the top portion of the insert.
