Rings with delicately curved rails, at the ends of which precious gemstones or pearls are presented, first appeared around 1900. Inspired by the dynamic forms of Art Nouveau, this jewelry fashion quickly became a great success. It is no wonder that such designs remained fashionable until the 1940s, despite all other changes in taste. This ring also follows this fashion. At its center, it features a natural pearl from the Persian Gulf and an old-cut diamond as its central protagonists. Further sparkling octagonal-cut diamonds set the curved ring shoulders. As they are set in platinum, they create a play of light with white reflections that appears delicate and elegant. The juxtaposition of the two large elements, the pearl and the diamond, also identifies the ring as a so-called "toi-et-moi" piece of jewelry. These "you-and-me" pieces of jewelry are typical gifts of love. In the imagination of the time, the man and woman stand opposite each other as lovers. They are recognizable as independent elements, yet firmly connected by their feelings and symbolically united in a piece of jewelry. The materials used, the cuts of the stones and the shape of the ring allow us to date it to the early years of the 20th century. It is beautifully preserved and a wonderful, precious piece.
