Toi-et-moi, you and me - this French term is used to describe rings that make two gemstones the equal protagonists of the design. In these designs, the two stones are set side by side on an equal footing, thus emphasizing the idea of a loving relationship. Napoleon already adored Joséphine with such a ring for his engagement: a drop-shaped sapphire and a diamond of the same shape were set next to each other along the narrow ring band. This ring reflects this idea in the taste of the early 20th century. The Belle Époque, the beautiful era, was bursting with wealth and joie de vivre, and this is exactly what the designs of the time reflect. Radiant white, in the light of diamonds and platinum, finely and sumptuously crafted - this was the style of the turn of the century. Two large old-cut diamonds weighing a total of around 2.50 ct are the protagonists of the ring. The two center stones appear to float in matching recesses in the boat-shaped ring face. They are surrounded by an elegantly curved platinum frame set with smaller diamonds. This is followed by a narrow ring band, the shoulders of which are also set with small diamonds. The use of solid platinum (instead of platinum on gold) speaks of the high quality of the setting, as platinum was the most expensive precious metal known to the jewelry industry at the time. With its romantic symbolism and precious setting, the ring is a classic gift of love. It is in very good condition and came to us from Munich.
