Antique Toi-et-moi Rose Gold Ring with Sapphire & Diamond, 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 jewelry 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 reddish gold ring holds an old-cut diamond of around 0.14 ct and a natural blue sapphire. The warm shine of the gold, the bright white of the diamond and the fresh blue of the sapphire are reminiscent of a carefree summer afternoon by the sea. However, 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 is not only reminiscent of the sea, but also of love. The stones are held in airy prong settings, which are followed by a curved, delicate ring band. 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. The ring is still in very good condition today and tells of that era's striving for beauty and lightness.
