Antique Toi-et-moi Ring with Sapphire & Diamond, Vienna, c. 1900

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

This piece of jewellery follows a particularly popular ring type from the turn of the century: It is a so-called "toi-et-moi" ring, a jewel that expresses the "you-and-me" of a romantic relationship through its two gemstones set side by side on an equal footing. The choice of stones was guided not only by aesthetic considerations, but also by content. Because in the language of jewels, which was just as common in the 19th century as the language of flowers, the blue sapphire stood for fidelity, while the diamond stood for eternity. Thus, the ring also conveys a message through its materials that today can only be deciphered by insiders. A blue sapphire and an old-cut diamond weighing approx. 0.34 ct are held in airy prong settings, which are adjoined by a curved, delicate ring band in reddish gold. A similarly curved platinum element holds the ring face together in the center, where three further diamonds are set. The design is entirely in keeping with the taste of the turn of the century, when people wanted to break away from the heavy ornamentation of the 19th century and find a lighter and more lively design language. A wonderful love gift or an antique engagement ring with great individuality. The ring came to us in the city of its creation: Vienna. The ring is still very well preserved today and tells of the quest for beauty and lightness at that time.
