Antique Toi-et-moi Ring with Old Cut Diamonds, c. 1910

Description

This ring is a so-called toi-et-moi ring: this is revealed by the two gemstones and their presentation, which places both equally at the center of attention. As the name suggests, the two gemstones are intended to symbolize lovers. Napoleon already adored his Joséphine with such a sapphire and diamond ring, and a century and a half later, John F. Kennedy asked Jackie, then still Jacqueline Bouvier, to marry him with a toi-et-moi ring made of emerald and diamond. The two gemstones opposite each other here are fine white diamonds in the round old cut, the so-called "Old European Cut". Together they weigh around 0.80 ct and are each set in plain platinum frames. The actual ring is made of warm, shiny 14-karat yellow gold and is elegantly curved so that the two diamonds appear to be dancing. Six smaller set diamonds make the ends of the band sparkle. The ring was created around 1910, when the toi-et-moi ring was booming. The fact that the diamond settings are made entirely of platinum and no longer of yellow gold, as was common in previous years, shows that the goldsmith who created the ring was not only at the cutting edge of design, but also of technology. We were able to discover this luxurious piece of jewelry in Hamburg. Thanks to its timeless design language and romantic message, it makes a wonderful engagement ring or love gift.
